Avulsed Ankylosis, Reimplantation Permanent tooth, Dentoalveolar trauma, PrognosisAbstract
Avulsed teeth comprise 1-16% of all traumatic injuries of the permanent dentition. Individuals with a greater overjet are known
to be more at risk compared with individuals who have a normal overjet. Unfortunately, in these situations, intrepid calculative
decisions must often be made quickly, because the loss of a maxillary central incisor classically occurs by accident most commonly
in patients with Angles’ Class II division 1 malocclusion. Various long-term solutions considered for avulsed maxillary incisors,
especially in patients requiring orthodontic treatment at a later date are considered here along with clinical cases. Trauma often
leaves extensive defects rendering the scope of implants almost nil at the concerned area and some round tripping of drifted teeth
in the edentulous area can be used as an advantage for orthodontic site development to accept future prosthesis.
