Tooth replantation after traumatic avulsion: a 27‐year follow up

Wilson Martins, Vânia Portela Ditzel Westphalen, Fernando Henrique Westphalen

Abstract

This report presents a case of replantation of a traumatically avulsed central incisor in a 32-year-old woman. The tooth was replanted after a 30-min extra-alveolar period. Emergency unconventional immobilization was performed, using 2-0 chromic gut, and a restorative composite made Gunning-type splint. The tooth is still in place 27 years after replantation (1976 to date) without marked resorption.
