Reimplantation of an avulsed tooth after prolonged storage.
This report demonstrates that if an intact avulsed tooth is retrieved, stored carefully and treated, it can be re-implanted successfully, even after more than 42 hours outside the alveolus. The tooth can regain its position as a stable member of the arch, and its osseous and gingival complex can be restored.
