Tooth avulsion refers to the complete removal of the tooth from the alveolar socket involving damage to the periodontal ligament. This severe dental trauma requires prompt and complicated treatment. This case outlines the management of an avulsed mandibular lateral incisor that was replanted after being extraorally for seven hours and stored in milk during that period. A male patient aged 16 year presented with trauma to the anterior mandibular region caused by an incidental fall. Clinical evaluation exhibited the avulsion of tooth 32, which was treated following the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines. The tooth was repositioned and further stabilized with a splint. After 1 week following replantation root canal treatment was started. At one-year review, the tooth remained symptom-free, showing no evidence of replacement resorption.
