Successful outcome of permanent maxillary incisor reimplanted after 30 hours of extra‐oral time—a case report with 5‐year follow‐up

Abstract

Key Clinical MessageTooth reimplantation should be attempted in every possible case with thorough disinfection and impervious obturation. Integration of progressive innovations with recommended protocols can enhance complication free survival in intense situations.AbstractThe present case describes the unique successful outcome of a tooth reimplanted after the delay of 30 hours. A 21‐year old male patient presented with an avulsed #21 after a fall due to electric shock. It was reimplanted according IADT guidelines with the addition of specific irrigation sequence proposed for regenerative endodontic procedures during the endodontic treatment. The final obturation was accomplished by combination of Biodentine and BioRCS root‐canal sealer. Subluxated #11 developed symptoms at 6 months and was further managed using recommended endodontic procedure. Both teeth had complication free survival during 5 year follow‐up.
