Abstract

The most serious but rare iatrogenic outcome of exodontia is the extraction of the wrong tooth. The extracted/ avulsed tooth can be reimplanted back into the socket. The human body can repair and regenerate tissue, leading to the healing of the tooth and the periodontium. The following is a case report on the accidental extraction of the premolar and its immediate reimplantation, followed up for 6 months both clinically and radiographically.
