Our medical colleagues get very little dental training. This 26 year old dental assistant fell and knocked out her lower left central and lateral incisors. She went to the ER where the physician reimplanted the teeth. Her dentist had to adjust the occlusion because her bite was off. Periapical X-ray showed slight lesions but Cone Beam CT clearly showed the teeth were not in their original sockets but between the buccal plate and soft tissue. If she had been seen by a dentist originally, the might have been reimplanted in the sockets.
