Avulsion of tooth or teeth is defined as displacement of tooth from its socket. An avulsed permanent tooth is one of the few real emergency situations in dentistry. Avulsion of teeth occurs most often in children between 7 and 9 years of age. It requires quick emergency intervention for favourable healing followed by evaluation and possible treatment at decisive times during the healing phase. Replantation is the first line of treatment for avulsed teeth when extraoral time is less and minimal damage to the PDL. It includes stabilization of teeth in its normal position which helps in reattachment and reorganization of the periodontal ligament. Every possible effort should be made to replant it in order to avoid esthetic, masticatory, phonetic difficulties and avoid arch length discrepancy.
