What is the immediate treatment for an avulsed primary tooth within 30 min?

Closely monitored
Replanted, splinted, and primary endo
Repositioned orthodontically
CaOH

The correct answer is: Replanted, splinted, and primary endo

An avulsed primary tooth refers to a baby tooth that has been completely knocked out of the socket. The immediate treatment for an avulsed primary tooth is to replant it back into the socket, splint it to the surrounding teeth to keep it in place, and perform a primary endodontic treatment (root canal). This should be done within 30 minutes to increase the chances of the tooth surviving. Option A and C are incorrect as they do not involve replanting the tooth back into the socket. Option D, which stands for Calcium hydroxide, is commonly used for root canal treatment, but it is not the immediate treatment for an avulsed primary tooth. It is important to seek out professional dental care as soon as possible after the incident to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
