Dental avulsion is the most severe type of traumatic tooth injuries as it hamers many associated structures and results in the complete displacement of the tooth from its socket. The most common complications after avulsions are necrosis of the pulp and root resorption. Treatment of avulsed tooth is often complex, time consuming, and expensive and requires multidisciplinary approaches such as endodontic and periodontal treatments, surgery, orthodontic movements, as well as esthetic coronal restoration. This review describes new clinical modalities for the treatment of avulsed teeth that can preserve the vitality of the periodontal ligament cells that remain on the root surface which is the key to success of replantation.
