Immediately after trauma, if a tooth tests non-vital, what should you do?

Proceed with root canal treatment
Extract the tooth
Wait and re-evaluate
Immediate dental implant placement

The correct answer is: Wait and re-evaluate

It is important to wait and re-evaluate if a tooth tests non-vital immediately after trauma because the tooth may still have a chance for recovery. Performing a root canal treatment or extracting the tooth right away may decrease the chances of saving the tooth. Immediate dental implant placement should also be avoided as it may complicate the healing process and increase the risk of complications. It is important to keep a close eye on the tooth and re-evaluate the status periodically before making a decision on treatment.
