ADC Practice Question — Replantation Protocols — Closed & Open Apex

What is the time limit for repositioning?

Dental trauma questions test protocol-level decisions — splint type, duration, follow-up timing — where one wrong detail means a wrong answer. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.

A 15-year-old boy's upper central incisor (closed apex) was replanted by his coach at the sports field within 5 minutes of avulsion. He presents to the dental clinic 30 minutes later with the tooth in situ but slightly rotated. The tooth was replanted in a slightly rotated position. What is the time limit for repositioning?

A. Repositioning should occur immediately — any delay beyond the first hour risks ankylosis
B. Repositioning is contraindicated once a tooth has been replanted at the accident scene
C. Repositioning can be considered for up to 48 hours after the original traumatic incident
D. Repositioning is only appropriate if radiographs confirm no root fracture has occurred
