Avulsion of permanent teeth is the most common dental injuries in a road traffic accident. It’s a boon that the patient’s original teeth can be replanted provided the fracture of the tooth and socket are within limits. Educating the community plays a major role in reimplantation. In this case report, the patient’s avulsed maxillary central incisors (11,21) were replanted by simple composite splinting technique. KEY WORDS: Avulsed tooth, Composite splinting, Reimplantation, Golden hour.
