Management of Avulsed Teeth:
Partial Avulsion
- Repositioning: The tooth is gently repositioned back into its normal alignment using finger pressure.
- Stabilization: Splinting done to stabilize the teeth.
- Pain Management: Analgesics and soft diet are recommended.
- Follow-up: Pulp vitality testing and monitoring for infection or necrosis.
Complete Avulsion
- Immediate Replantation (if possible): Placing the tooth back into the mouth.
Carrying Medium:
One important thing is how the fallen tooth is carried to the dentist? That will decide the success of the treatment. Mostly the mistake done is when the tooth falls off, it is washed, wrapped in a tissue and then brought to a dentist... If that happens, then that tooth is of no use... The best way to store the tooth is Hanks balanced salt solution but that will not be available with us handy. So Milk or the person’s own saliva can be used. They can spit the Saliva into a container and put the tooth inside that and then the dentist has to be visited within half an hour
Time Factor:
Best prognosis if replanted within 30 minutes. Beyond 60 minutes, chances of periodontal ligament healing decrease.
Post Care:
Frequent monitoring required for further treatment decisions
