The incidences of complete displacement of tooth from its socket in alveolar bone due to trauma are increasing day by day. Immediate replantation ensures the best possible prognosis. Dentists should always be prepared to give appropriate advice to the public about first aid for avulsed teeth. An avulsed permanent tooth is one of the few real emergency situations in dentistry.
Here in present case we have tired to put all efforts to conserve the vitality of periodontal ligament to ensure successful replantation of the maxillary incisors. Hence we could achieve the desired result and we could save the maxillary incisors.
Our study suggest that replantation of an avulsed tooth should be done as soon as possible using appropriate transport medium, storage medium and splinting. Regular follow up after treatment by a dentist and maintenance of oral hygiene will show good prognosis.
