What is the protocol for an avulsion of primary teeth if it occurred less than 30 minutes ago?

Replant, splint 1-2 weeks, soft diet, antibiotics, endo
Extraction
No treatment
Soft diet only

The correct answer is: Replant, splint 1-2 weeks, soft diet, antibiotics, endo

An avulsion of primary teeth refers to the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket. The protocol for treating this condition is to replant the tooth back in its socket, splint it for 1-2 weeks, prescribe soft diet and antibiotics, and perform endodontic treatment if necessary. Option B, extraction, would be the appropriate protocol for avulsions of permanent teeth, not primary teeth. Option C, no treatment, is incorrect as replanting the tooth as soon as possible is crucial for successful outcomes. Option D, soft diet only, is not a sufficient protocol as antibiotics and splinting are also necessary.
