Replantation of an Avulsed Tooth: A Case Report

Abstract Avulsion is an uncommon and severe form of dental trauma that requires prompt and complex intervention. This case report presents the successful management of an avulsed maxillary central incisor that was replanted after remaining outside the oral cavity for 90 minutes, having been in dry storage. A 9-year-old male patient arrived with an alleged history of fall from staircase, hit on face and missing upper front tooth. Clinical assessment revealed avulsion of tooth 21, which was replanted in accordance with International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines and stabilized using a splint. Conventional root canal therapy was initiated two days after replantation, after which the splint was removed. Follow-up examination at one month demonstrated the absence of clinical symptoms and no evidence of resorption on radiographic evaluation.
