Additional Considerations Avulsed primary teeth should not be replanted. Inflammatory resorption, replacement resorption, ankylosis and tooth submergence are potential complications when avulsed teeth are replanted. The Guidelines are based on a review of the pertinent literature and clinical experience in managing cases. The AAE recognizes that the most definitive information is gathered from properly designed clinical trials. Simulations from animal models are useful, but not totally conclusive when applied to human subjects.
Case reports and opinion articles have limited application.
In studying a subject such as the accidentally avulsed permanent tooth, clinical trials are not always available and in many cases are impossible to perform. Therefore, these recommendations represent the state of the art and science at this moment but are subject to revision as additional research and knowledge become available. Practitioners must always use their own best professional judgment. The American Association of Endodontists neither expressly nor implicitly warrants any positive results associated with the application of these guidelines. This license is not assignable.
