Instant Re-Implantation of Avulsed Teeth.

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Pediatric Dentistry
• Endodontics

Background:

• Avulsed teeth require immediate management for successful re-plantation.
• Traumatic dental injuries, like tooth avulsion, are common in children.
• Timely intervention is key to preserving the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the effective treatment of a pediatric tooth avulsion case.
• To emphasize the importance of prompt management and re-plantation protocols.
• To demonstrate favorable outcomes following timely intervention and root canal therapy.

Main Methods:

• A case report of a 9-year-old boy with an avulsed maxillary central incisor.
• The avulsed tooth was stored in normal saline and treated with extra-oral conventional Root Canal Therapy (RCT).
• Re-plantation followed International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines, with stabilization via splinting.

Main Results:

• The patient reported within 30 minutes of the avulsion injury.
• Extra-oral RCT was performed, followed by re-plantation and splinting.
• The treatment approach promoted faster periapical healing and a better prognosis.

Conclusions:

• Rapid re-plantation of avulsed teeth is critical for successful outcomes.
• Adherence to IADT guidelines and appropriate splinting are essential.
• A combination of prompt management, extra-oral RCT, and splinting leads to optimal healing and prognosis in pediatric dental avulsions.
