Clinical aspects of tooth replantation

Abstract

The dentoalveolar area is frequently involved in trauma that can sometimes lead to soft tissue injury, bone fractures, tooth luxation, and fractures of teeth. Teenagers and young children suffer the significant proportion of traumatic dental injuries. Both primary and permanent teeth are at risk of injury. Among the most serious traumatic injuries, tooth avulsion is defined as the total separation of a tooth out of its place in the alveolar ridge. Regarding the exact traumatic injury suffered, a variety of therapy approaches and treatments are available. Tooth conditions along with extra-alveolar storage duration and medium condition are the variables that have the biggest consequence on the clinical outcomes and result of replanting the avulsed tooth.
