This case report aim describes orthodontic eruption as an alternative treatment option for the management of intruded primary tooth. Case Report: A 5-year-old boy was referred to the Gulhane Medical Academy Centre of Dental Sciences Department, 30 minutes after he suffered a dental trauma. In intraoral examination the intrusion of the upper right primary central incisor ( 51) and only clinical incisal crown tip could be examined. Although 4 weeks waiting for re-eruption, teeth did not move. An orthodontic appliance was used for eruption of the intruded tooth with rubber ronder and a button on the surface of 51. Results: Two weeks later after eruption of 51 appliance has been given-up. The patient was taken regular follow ups for 3 years. Permanent central incisors erupted normally after 3 years. Conclusion: Orthodontic eruption may not be the first treatment choice but it can be an alternative treatment with correct indication and short time use for intruded primary teeth.
