Numerous injuries affecting the tooth and its supporting components can arise from dental trauma. A displacement of the tooth in an apical direction into the socket is known as an intrusive luxation, and it is one of the most serious forms of dental traumatic injuries. In contrast to other luxation injuries, intrusion is uncommon in permanent dentition. It includes 5%–12% of dental luxation and 0.5-2.9% of all traumatic injuries in the permanent dentition. The patient's age, the kind of dentition, the stage of root development, the duration and severity of the trauma, and other factors can all affect the course of treatment and prognosis for invasive luxation. A range of therapeutic approaches are recommended for the management of invasive luxation. Letting the tooth erupt naturally is one option. Using orthodontic forces to realign the tooth is an additional therapeutic option. It has also been suggested that immediate surgical repositioning can be done. In this case intruded tooth was also associated with a supernumerary tooth, hence a planned surgical extraction and orthodontic extrusion was carried out to restore the form and functions of the tooth.
