Abstract

Objective: Present diagnoses and treatments to be followed for therapeutic resources in avulsed teeth. Methods: This was a literature review, with a descriptive and informative approach, where the formulation process took place through searches for scientific literature, in the PubMed/ MedLine, LiLacs and SciELo databases, in the period 2015-2019. As descriptors: “tooth displacement”, “alveolar processes” and “avulsed tooth replantations” to the boolean descriptors in the respective research sources. Results: The exarticulation of the tooth can cause a dental avulsion, as it is an abnormal situation due to possible traumatic damage, which is identified by the occurrence of dislocation of the dental element and the alveolar process, causing significant problems in both the structure and the dental pulp. The extraoral prolongation of the avulsed tooth for a long time or in inadequate preservation can cause irreparable consequences. Final Considerations: Tooth avulsion is a procedure that can cause insertion injuries, this factor is established as a result of the rupture of the fibers of the protection periodontium, which, in turn, causes possible inflammatory processes that intensify a large root surface causing much discomfort to the patient. Therefone, dentists (DC) should be able to resolve such complications.
