An 18-year-old female presented with tooth No. 7 missing after a history of trauma. At age 7, she fell and the tooth avulsed. It wasn’t stored in any “liquid” or ideal environment, and when it was reimplanted, the results were compromised. No endodontic treatment was performed and at age 16, the patient lost the tooth; a temporary was fabricated. Subsequently, she had a bone graft using DynaBlast DBM Paste (Keystone Dental) plus a membrane barrier placed after decortification of the site; another temporary was placed. The patient again lost her temporary, and it was rebonded with resin composite at another clinic.
