Homogenous Re-implantation of teeth

Did you know that the teeth which have accidentally been loosened from their sockets in the mouth and are avulsed out of the mouth owing to trauma to the face, can be placed back with an extremely high degree of success if the case is properly managed such a problem is encountered by children and adults.

The teeth which have fallen out of the mouth must be kept clean and moist and brought to the dentist as soon as possible. The earlier the better preferably the first 12 hours.

At the clinic the teeth properly disinfected and root-canalled and after appropriate management of the socket are carefully re-implanted and immobilized for about 10-12 weeks.

The above photographs of a 12 years boy who came to my clinic in emergency from school with a history of fall, where his left Maxillary Central Incisor was avulsed. The avulsed tooth was disinfected and root canal treated. The tooth was placed back in the socket and stabilized with orthodontic splinting.
