title: Management of avulsions.
abstract: The treatment of the avulsed tooth provides a significant challenge to the dental practitioner. It is obvious that this particular dental injury poses a significant number of questions for both the researcher and the clinician. There will be most likely a continued interest to find the ideal treatment for this injury. As much as the dental literature has provided an improvement to the treatment of patients with avulsed teeth, however, there remains a significant number of clinically relevant questions that must be addressed before patients who sustain avulsion injuries can receive an acceptable long-term prognosis.
