Summary
Reimplanting avulsed teeth, even after 36 hours, can be a viable treatment for traumatic dental injuries. This case report details the successful management of a maxillary incisor avulsion in a pediatric patient.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Dental injuries, including tooth avulsion, are prevalent, with Ellis classification systems aiding in assessment.
- Tooth avulsion accounts for 1-16% of traumatic dental injuries, most commonly affecting maxillary anterior teeth.
Observation:
- This case report focuses on a 12-year-old girl experiencing avulsion of her maxillary incisors.
- The avulsed teeth were reimplanted after an extended extra-oral dry time of 36 hours.
Findings:
- The management of avulsed maxillary incisors reimplanted after 36 hours was successfully achieved.
- This extended delay presents significant challenges in avulsed tooth management.
Implications:
- Delayed reimplantation of avulsed teeth, even after 36 hours, may offer a potential treatment pathway.
- Further research is warranted to explore the long-term outcomes and success rates of late reimplantation in traumatic dental injuries.
