    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Surgery
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Tooth avulsion, or the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket, is a common dental emergency, particularly in children.
    • Prompt and appropriate management is crucial for preserving the vitality of the periodontal ligament and ensuring a favorable outcome.
    • Previous research indicates that the duration of extra-alveolar time significantly impacts the success rate of tooth replantation.

    Observation:

    • The patient, a child, experienced a tooth avulsion injury.
    • The mother promptly transported the child to the hospital emergency room.
    • The avulsed teeth were maintained in a moist environment within the child's oral cavity (saliva and blood) during transport.

    Findings:

    • Successful tooth replantation is achievable when performed within 30 minutes of avulsion.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Transporting avulsed teeth in physiological fluids like saliva or milk, or even blood, is recommended.
  • Maintaining cleanliness of the avulsed tooth and the socket minimizes infection risk, enhancing prognosis.

    • Implications:

    • Early intervention and adherence to specific guidelines can significantly improve the success rate of tooth replantation.
    • This case highlights the importance of parental education on emergency dental avulsion management.
    • The findings support the viability of tooth replantation as a treatment option for dental trauma, emphasizing timely action and proper interim storage.
