title: Root resorption: a complication following traumatic avulsion.
abstract: The viability of the periodontal ligament depends on the extraoral period; this viability decreases as the extraoral period of traumatically avulsed teeth increases. This case report describes the management of avulsed teeth replanted four hours after the initial trauma. Progressive root resorption was a problem.
