OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge level of emergency measures for tooth avulsion among Kuwaiti parents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixty-three parents completed an Arabic language questionnaire about their first-aid knowledge. The following fields of knowledge were assessed: general body injury treatment principles, tooth avulsion and replantation principles, avulsed perma...

Introduction. Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the most frustrating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with VRF is poor therefore tooth extraction and root amputation are usually the only treatment options. However, bonding of the fracture line with adhesive resin cement during the intentional replantation procedure was recently suggested as an alternative to...

BACKGROUND Traumatic tooth avulsions occur most often in 7 to 9 year-old children. Replantation is considered the treatment of choice and follow-up is required in order to prevent possible complications. CASE REPORT A case of replantation of a maxillary immature incisor in a 9.2-year-old male is reported. Tooth 21 was stored in saliva, in the child's mouth, and it was replanted within 45 min ...

The aim of this report is to present the case of an accidentally avulsed maxillary central incisor kept in saline solution from the moment of trauma until its replantation 3 h later in a 13-year-old girl. The avulsed tooth was replanted back into the alveolar socket and splinted with composite resin. Calcium hydroxide intracanal dressing was used to prevent inflammatory root resorption. Radiogr...

AIM To address the indications, contraindications, surgical procedure, complications following treatment, factors influencing the results and success rate of intentional replantation procedure. BACKGROUND Intentional replantation is extraction of a tooth to do extraoral root canal therapy, curettage of apical lesion when present, and its replacement in its socket. It has been proposed as an a...

Intentional replantation has been long considered to be the onlyrecourse for saving a tooth when other options like traditional root canal therapy and surgery are inconceivable. The article discusses intentional replantation as a treatment option for afallible case of broken instrument in the distal canal of left mandibular second molar. The critical factor required for the success of intention...

Introduction. If the teeth are impacted by a chronic irritant, the pulp space possibly will undergo calcific changes that may impede access opening during root canal treatment. In such cases that conventional endodontic treatment is impossible or impractical, intentional replantation may be considered as a last solution to preserve the tooth. Methods. After failing to perform conventional root ...

Aim- Background-Trauma to the oral region occurs frequently and comprise 5% of all injuries. Among facial injuries, dental injuries are most common which avulsions occur in 1–16% cases. Avulsion is defined as total displacement tooth out its socket. An avulsed can usually be retained by replantation; however, prognosis depends on extraoralduration, condition tooth, patient’s age root develo...
