ABSTRACT

This prospective study aimed to determine the prevalence and fate of reimplanted teeth of the Libyan school children. The prevalence was 5.0%. Mean age group was 10.1, Mode was 9 and Median was 9.5 years. Females were injured more frequently [55.6%] than male [44.4%]. Upper centrals were the most common teeth injured [85.6%]. Saliva storage seemed to be the most favourable storage media; the success rate was 100%. Dry storage would lead to progressive root resorption; replacement and inflammatory root resorptions were recorded in 69.2% of the cases. In this study the extra-alveolar period seemed to have no significant relation with the success rate where the success rate was 84.6% and the failure rate was only 15.4%, the authors related this to improper recording of the exact extra-alveolar period from the parents, however the longer the extra-alveolar period the more the complications will result. Fall at home was the main reason for the avulsion. Parental Educational programs are very important for the quick management of such injuries
