Avulsion and replantation.
The reported incidence of tooth avulsion ranges from 1% to 11% of all traumatic injuries to the permanent dentition. The maxillary central incisor is the most frequently avulsed tooth in the permanent dentition, and the most frequently involved age group is 7-10 years. This article reviews the present day knowledge on avulsion and replantation of permanent teeth. Treatment objectives are explained, and clinical management outside and inside the dental office are discussed. Detailed treatment protocols are provided considering the extraoral time and the degree of apical closure.
