Immediately after an extraction, a dentist realises that the sound tooth 25 has been removed instead of the carious tooth 24. The tooth is intact and the patient is still in the chair. Which course of action is MOST appropriate?
Replant 25 without telling the patient, as it may heal and cause no further harm
Extract 24 as planned and then tell the patient that 25 was also unsaveable
Keep 25 out, tell the patient later, and offer a free implant in its place
Tell the patient, apologise, replant and splint 25, then record and report
