Actual Approach to Replantation of Avulsed Teeth

Abstract

Tooth avulsion (exarticulation) implies total displacement of the tooth out of its socket. Various statistics have shown that exarticulation of teeth following traumatic injuries is relative infrequent, ranging from 0,5 - 16% of traumatic injuries in the permanent dentition ond from 7% - 13% in the primary dentition.
Tha aim of this case report is to presnt the delayed replantation of the central and lateral incisor in the maxilla in a 14-year-old child. At the same time analyzing modern literature, we are presenting different professional-scientifical views about using different antiresorptive medications and different solutions for tooth preservation during the extra alveolar period.
Most replanted teeth demonstrate root resorption after a certain period of time. Histologic examination of replanted human and animal teeth has reevaluated three different root- resorption modalities: surface resorption, replacement resorption (ankylosis) and inflammatory resorption.
A number of clinical factors have been shown to be associated with root resorption after replantation, such as extra-alveolar period, type of extra-alveolar storage and tooth condition.
Teeth replantation in prepubertal an pubertal patients with avulsed teeth is the method of choice because these patients are contraindicated for dental implants and fixed prosthetic device.
