Avulsion and replantation of the teeth following traumatic injury causes complication such as inflammatory and replacement resorption. This case report describes a traumatic injury to the permanent maxillary central incisor exhibited pulpal necrosis leading to periapical cyst with massive bone loss and extensive external inflammatory root resorption. Endodontic therapy and surgery was performed to salvage the tooth with poor prognosis. The multiple resorptive defects were debrided and restored with resin modified glass ionomer cement. The postoperative follow-up revealed improved healing. The prognosis of the tooth which was badly destructed due to external inflammatory resorption was greatly enhanced with appropriate treatment plan and ultimately increased the longevity of the tooth.
