Delayed replantation of avulsed permanent maxillary central incisor: Case report with 6‐year follow‐up

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Replantation should be attempted in any case of avulsion, be it immediate or delayed. Retention of the replanted tooth helps in preservation of adjacent alveolar bone. Despite the occurrence of replacement resorption, the tooth can stay healthy and functional in the arch for a longer duration.
