Aim- Background-Trauma to the oral region occurs frequently and comprise 5% of all injuries. Among all facial injuries, dental injuries are the most common of which avulsions occur in 1–16% of cases. Avulsion is defined as total displacement of the tooth out of its socket. An avulsed tooth can usually be retained by replantation; however, the prognosis depends on the extraoralduration, the condition of the avulsed tooth, patient’s age and root development. In many cases, a replanted tooth survives only a matter of years, during this period it serves as a natural space maintainer whilst growth occurs, and also enables alveolar height to be preserved. Case Description- This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in an eleven year old child after trauma. |
