Avulsion can cause severance of the periodontal ligament and nerve vascular disorders, with consequent loss of blood supply to the tooth, which can lead to pulpal necrosis.Thesuccessoftreatment depends on the survival of the periodontal ligament cells attached to the tooth root surface.This canbedonebyreimplantingtheavulsedtoothor by storing it in an appropriate storage/transport medium until the tooth is reimplanted into its socket.
