“…Many materials like silver amalgam, composite, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate are used for this purpose. Glass Ionomer fulfilled our requirement also, as it is biocompatible and has long been used for repair of bony defects in head and neck, periodontal furcation defects, bone regeneration & as a bone substitute [11,12,13,14]. Moreover, Glass Ionomer when used for retrograde filling was found to have less micro leakage and less cytotoxicy [15].…”

This is a case report of a young boy who had a physical trauma to his right maxillary central Incisor. As it remained untreated for many years, it underwent severe inflammatory external root resorption causing perforation. The root of the tooth was damaged to an extent that extraction of the tooth was indicated. But keeping the site of the tooth, age of the patient and his interest in saving the tooth in view, we decided to take a chance to save the tooth in an innovative manner. Firmness of the tooth in its socket also motivated us to opt for a restorative treatment instead of referring him to surgery for extraction. A hopelessly damaged tooth which was very much indicated for extraction has been saved which satisfies patient's cosmetic demands on lower cost. He otherwise, would have to bear the cost of either 3-unit Bridge or Implant supported crown. Quarterly radiographic examination shows progressive apical and periodontal healing after the treatment since last six months.
