Abstract
Traumatic dental injuries are very common and mainly affect children and adolescents. Maxillary incisors are more prone to fracture. It affects the facial appearance of the patient. This case report described the management of avulsed maxillary right lateral incisor with longer extra alveolar dry time in a 15 year old healthy boy. Replantation is the only treatment of the choice. Before replantation, root surface was cleaned with scaler and then placed in sodium fluoride for 20 minutes. Extra oral root canal treatment was done. The replanted tooth was secured with wire-composite splint for 4 weeks. After one year follow-up, the tooth was asymptomatic, normal mobility, normal percussion sound, no radiographic evidence of resorption, bone loss and periapical pathology.
