Management of Avulsed Tooth

Tooth avulsion implies a total displacement of the tooth out of its socket. The main etiologic factors in permanent dentition are fights and sports injuries. It is very important to save the avulsed tooth as it can affect the social, mental, and physical health of the patient. Treating the avulsed teeth, the present guidelines are primarily based on an analysis of a series of experimental studies and a few clinical studies where enough data support the given procedures. Avulsed teeth should always be replanted as soon as possible and if this is not possible a storage medium such as HBSS, saliva, saline, or milk should be used to store the replanted tooth until the dentist is visited. The patient should visit a dental emergency service as soon as possible.
