Abstract

Avulsion of one or more permanent teeth represents an emergency in dentistry. The main treatment isthe replantation of the tooth/teeth as soon as possible to decrease possible complications. However, this is notalways possible, and, in many cases, the patient undergoes a delayed replantation and subsequently prostheticand implant treatments. This becomes problematic when the traumatized patient is a child; in this case, thegoal is to maintain the space for the subsequent implant positioning and to give an adequate aesthetic resultuntil the bone growth has ceased. A review on the incidence of the inflammatory root resorption onset afterdelayed replantation was carried out to check the frequency and severity of these complications.
