Abstract: Avulsion is one of the most complex types of trauma to the teeth where the tooth is completely displaced from the alveolar socket. Intentional reimplantation is a surgical procedure which has gained a rising interest in the last decade as it is less invasive than surgery and preserves anatomical, functional, and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient. This treatment mainly depends on the tooth's extraoral dry time and a management pathway involves extraoral endodontic treatment of the tooth and its reinsertion into its own alveolus.
