Abstract

A correct diagnosis and appropriate emergency management of the avulsion injuries are crucial factors for the repair and healing of tooth and dentoalveolar tissues. Despite the treatment provided, replanted teeth may be eventually lost and demonstrate the poor outcome. An appropriate treatment option may be fiber-reinforced composite bridges. This report presents a clinical case that involves the endodontic, surgical, and restorative management of a traumatized permanent lower central incisor with a large chronic apical periodontitis.

Keywords: Actinomycosis, avulsion, dental trauma, fiber-reinforced composite bridges
