68
Q

at 2 weeks , CaOH for 1 month or antibiotic paste for 6 weeks

70
Q

A

Ankylosis

71
Q

When would you followup a closed apex avulsed tooth?

  • 2 weeks
  • 4 weeks
  • 3 months
  • 6 months
  • 1 year
72
Q

Q

What is the difference between EAT and EADT?

A

while EAT measures the total time a tooth is out of its socket, EADT specifically measures the time it has been out and not kept moist. Both are important for the prognosis of avulsed teeth, with shorter times being more favorable for successful reimplantation and healing.
