Abstract – There are several protocols for the successful management of dental trauma emergencies. However, these existing protocols are inconsistent regarding several issues. As the Israeli dental community and patients have specific characteristics, a modified and adaptable protocol was required. This new protocol contains simple and straightforward clinical guidelines, arranged in table format, according to the nature of the trauma. The present study shows the protocol for luxation and avulsion injuries, with new recommendations for the treatment of luxated closed‐apex teeth, the preferred at‐site treatment and storage medium for avulsed teeth, and the conditioning of the root surface in these cases. To emphasize and explain the modification of this new protocol, research‐based information has been incorporated.
