Correct answer: D — 5 years with annual radiographic review
IADT guidelines recommend follow-up after replantation of avulsed permanent teeth for a minimum of 5 years, as complications (replacement resorption, inflammatory resorption, pulp necrosis, ankylosis) can develop months to years after the event. Follow-up includes clinical examination and periapical radiographs at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and annually for at least 5 years.
