Replantation of Primary Avulsed Teeth: A Myth or a Boon ?

Abstract

Replantation of an avulsed primary tooth possesses the possibility of several unfavourable outcomes hence frequently it is not recognized as a treatment option. Compared with the abundant literature on the replantation of avulsed permanent teeth, the literature on replantation of avulsed primary teeth is significantly more limited. Although there are very few studies published in literature in favour of replantation of primary teeth. Hence it always creates a dilemma for clinicians. Present article focuses on the risks and benefits of replantation of avulsed primary teeth and the steps to be followed while replantation in case of appropriate clinical scenario.
