Delayed Reimplantation of Avulsed Teeth: A Conservative Approach - Case Report
Avulsion and luxation injuries represent a significant portion of dental trauma, accounting for up to 16% of all injuries in the permanent dentition and 7.2% in the primary dentition. Treatment varies with injury severity, but avulsed teeth may be lost, especially when prognosis is poor. Replantation, even with uncertain outcomes, serves as a valuable interim solution to maintain esthetics, function, and space, particularly in growing children where early tooth loss complicates prosthetic management. This article presents a case demonstrating the replantation of an avulsed tooth as a conservative and functional solution in the management of anterior tooth loss in a young patient.
