Amita Rai, Bandana Koirala, Mamta Dali, Sneha Shrestha
Abstract
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.
