Background Traumatic tooth avulsions occur most often in 7 to 9 year-old children. Replantation is considered the treatment of choice and follow-up is required in order to prevent possible complications. Case report A case of replantation of a maxillary immature incisor in a 9.2-year-old male is reported. Tooth 21 was stored in saliva, in the child’s mouth, and it was replanted within 45 min following a bicycle accident. A flexible splint was applied from tooth 11 to tooth 63, and it was removed after 4 weeks. Pulp canal obliteration was diagnosed at the 6 months check-up visit. Pulp sensibility was positive after 3 months and absent after 5 years. During the follow-up the tooth completed its development and always presented a physiological mobility and a probing depth < 3 mm. Only a minimal discoloration of the crown was observed. Conclusion The knowledge of emergency care at the scene of dental trauma is resolutory for treatment outcome.

Abstract
Background Traumatic tooth avulsions occur most often in 7 to 9 year-old children. Replantation is considered the treatment of choice and follow-up is required in order to prevent possible complications. Case report A case of replantation of a maxillary immature incisor in a 9.2-year-old male is reported. Tooth 21 was stored in saliva, in the child’s mouth, and it was replanted within 45 min following a bicycle accident. A flexible splint was applied from tooth 11 to tooth 63, and it was removed after 4 weeks. Pulp canal obliteration was diagnosed at the 6 months check-up visit. Pulp sensibility was positive after 3 months and absent after 5 years. During the follow-up the tooth completed its development and always presented a physiological mobility and a probing depth < 3 mm. Only a minimal discoloration of the crown was observed. Conclusion The knowledge of emergency care at the scene of dental trauma is resolutory for treatment outcome.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
