Sonu Acharya, Susant Mohanty, Antarmayee Panigrahi, Bismay Singh and Amit Khatri

Pediatric dentists who treat a significant number of children under 4 years of age are likely to encounter a child with an avulsed primary tooth especially the incisors routinely in their practice. The question of whether to replant these teeth has been a focus of debate and controversy in the dental literature. The authors who have tried to replant the primary incisory have faced lot of criticism from their peers. Although there is a dearth of studies regarding the replantation of these teeth but individual case reports have stated that replantation can be tried in primary teeth. Here we discuss the management of avulsed primary teeth and its follow up in a three year old female child who had a trauma twice in the same region of face but lost two different teeth in different incidences.
