Dental trauma refers to injury to the teeth and periodontium (gums, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone), and nearby soft tissues such as the lips, tongue, etc. Dental trauma is accounting for a major part of dental problems in children and adolescents. Among various types of dental injuries-Tooth avulsion (exarticulation) implies total displacement of the tooth out of its socket. This kind of dental trauma causes the periodontal ligaments to be severed with or without fracture of the alveolus. Dental avulsion is an emergency in which prompt diagnosis and management (within 20–40 minutes of injury) results in favourable prognosis of the tooth.
