AB A  9-year-old  boy  presents  to  his  pediatrician  after  suffering  trauma  to  his  face  45  minutes  ago  while  jumping  on  a  trampoline  (Figure  37-1).  The  mother  presents  with  a  tooth  folded  in  a  wet  napkin.  There  are  no  signs  or  symptoms  of  trauma  to  other  craniofacial  structures  nor  signs  of  neurological  trauma.  Upon  examination,  a  fully  rooted  permanent  tooth  is  noted  to  have  been  lost  from  its  socket  and  the  adjacent  tooth  is  fractured.  He  is  diagnosed  with  avulsion  of  the  maxillary  right  central  incisor.  After  a  call  to  the  child’s  dentist,  the  pediatrician  reimplanted  the  tooth  as  directed  (Figure  37-2).  The  boy  was  then  sent  directly  to  the  dentist  for  evaluation  and  stabilization.
