Dental avulsion is the complete dislodgement of a tooth from its alveolar socket caused by certain traumatic injuries such as falling, accident, sports injuries and comprises around 1-16% of these injuries. The ideal treatment is to reimplant the tooth in its respective socket. The success of reimplanting an avulsed tooth depends on the viability of PDL cells and peridontium to support the tooth and the storage media where the avulsed tooth is temporarily preserved. The proper use of storage media helps in maintaining the viability of the PDL cells whereas the incorrect use of the storage media may lead to necrosis of PDL cells or root resorption. This article reviews tooth avulsion as an emergency, the various storage media available and the guidelines for management of avulsed tooth in the dental office.
