Abstract:
An infrequent traumatic injury in dogs is avulsion of a tooth from its alveolus. The management of the avulsed tooth is complex. This report describes the treatment of a traumatically avulsed maxillary canine tooth in a dog. Replantation and splinting of the tooth was performed. Despite a protracted extraoral time, follow up clinical and radiographic assessment of the tooth indicated successful replantation.
