Abstract

Avulsion, defined as the complete dislocation of the tooth from the alveolar socket, is considered one of the most
serious traumatic injuries. In these injuries; Many tissues are affected, including dental pulp, gingiva, periodontal
fibers, cementum and alveolar bone.In the prognosis of the tooth replanted as a result of avulsion, the duration of
splinting and initiation of treatment are as important as the duration of the tooth in the external environment and the
environment in which it is transported.In this case report, the diagnosis and treatment of a 15-year-old patient, whose
treatment was started but could not come to his appointment due to pandemic conditions, is discussed with the clinical
and radiological evaluation of root resorption following root canal treatment and splint removal approximately 1 year
later.

Keywords

Pandemic, late splint removal, root resorption.
