When should the corticosteroid/antibiotic paste for Tooth Y be placed?
Dental trauma questions test protocol-level decisions — splint type, duration, follow-up timing — where one wrong detail means a wrong answer. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
Two replanted closed-apex incisors in the same patient. Tooth X will receive calcium hydroxide. Tooth Y will receive a corticosteroid/antibiotic paste. The dentist reviews timing for each. When should the corticosteroid/antibiotic paste for Tooth Y be placed?
- A. At the same 2-week appointment as the calcium hydroxide for Tooth X
- B. Immediately or shortly after replantation — not delayed to the 2-week RCT appointment
- C. Only after radiographic evidence of inflammatory resorption appears at 3-month follow-up
- D. At the splint removal appointment, after confirming the tooth position is stable

IADT: 'If a corticosteroid or corticosteroid/antibiotic mixture is chosen, it should be placed immediately or shortly after replantation.' This contrasts with Ca(OH)2 which goes in at the 2-week RCT appointment. SOURCE — Fouad AF et al. IADT Avulsion Guidelines, Dent Traumatol 2020;36:331-342, Section 10
