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.
Two replanted closed-apex incisors in the same patient. Tooth X will receive calcium hydroxide. Tooth Y will receive a corticosteroid/antibiotic paste. The dentist reviews timing for each. What is the minimum duration the corticosteroid paste should remain in situ before replacement?
- A. Up to 1 month — matching the calcium hydroxide protocol for consistency
- B. At least 6 weeks — significantly longer than the calcium hydroxide duration
- C. Exactly 2 weeks — it should be removed at the same time as the splint
- D. Only 48 hours — corticosteroids lose effectiveness rapidly in the root canal environment

IADT: corticosteroid paste 'left in situ for at least 6 weeks.' Compare Ca(OH)2: 'up to 1 month followed by root canal filling.' Different timing reflects different therapeutic mechanisms. SOURCE — Fouad AF et al. IADT Avulsion Guidelines, Dent Traumatol 2020;36:331-342, Section 10
