Abstract

  Permanent tooth avulsion is the most devastating of all dental injuries, accounting for 1 - 16 percent of all traumatic injuries, with maxillary incisors being the most often affected. This case report documents the treatment and progress of an avulsed permanent right maxillary central incisor and extruded maxillary right lateral incisor undergoing orthodontic treatment. The patient had reported within 1 and half hours following trauma with the tooth stored in dry condition and soil contamination. The prognosis depends on measures taken at the place of the accident or the time frame within which the tooth is reimplanted after avulsion. Appropriate emergency management and treatment strategy are critical for a good prognosis.
