Replanted avulsed tooth 14 hours post-trauma: a case report

This is a case study of the replantation of an avulsed tooth (No. 9) on a 21-year-old female patient. The avulsed tooth was the result of physical trauma. The tooth was completely dislocated, yet still retained in the mouth by palatal tissue. When the patient presented at her local university hospital, the only treatment performed was a computed tomography scan. The patient was advised to see a dentist as soon as possible. Subsequently, the patient was seen by the author in his office approximately 14 hours after the initial trauma. The treatment was deemed a success 20 months post-treatment.
