REPLANTATION AND NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT OF AN AVULSION TEETH DUE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA IN REMOTE AREA: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Dental avulsion is the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket due to trauma that requires complex treatment. An avulsed tooth is reinserted into its socket and supported by splinting immediately to avoid damage to the periodontal ligament which can affect the prognosis of the tooth after treatment. The fast treatment time for avulsed teeth and appropriate post-avulsed tooth storage media can help slow the occurrence of tooth resorption which is one of the complications of tooth replantation.

A 7-year-old male patient avulsed tooth #32 which was stored in a milk bath. After the tooth is replanted, root canal treatment and occlusal adjustments are carried out to avoid the risk of infection in the tooth. Control of patients 30 days after replantation showed good results. Patients were instructed to return periodically.
