| Summary: | Background: Avulsions, which are most frequently observed in the top front teeth, are among the most severe dental injuries. A excellent prognosis is achieved with immediate transplantation of the avulsed tooth, albeit this may not always be feasible.
Case study report: The current case illustrates the 1-year follow-up following the delayed (after 16 hours) replantation of a traumatized maxillary central incisor that had been avulsed.
Clinical implications and conclusion: In order to preserve the alveolar bone and assist the patient psychologically, delayed replantation of an avulsed tooth may be a good option to prosthesis. Additionally, initiatives should be taken to inform and educate the public on the care of avulsed teeth at accident scenes and dentist offices. |
