Intentional replantation (IR) is the final treatment option to save teeth when the conventional or nonsurgical root canal treatment fail and periradicular surgery is unfeasible. In IR, a safely extracted tooth is treated outside the oral cavity in a controlled environment and is replaced into its original alveolar socket. Studies revealed that IR has a relatively high success rate, although dif...

A palatogingival groove is an anatomic malformation that predisposes the involved tooth to a severe periodontal defect. When the condition is complicated by pulpal necrosis, affected teeth often present a dilemma in terms of diagnosis and treatment planning. In this report, we describe the case of a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove extending to the root...

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...

PURPOSE Recent interest has focused on intentional replantation to restore an original tooth. Some studies have shown successful results with intentional replantation for periodontally involved teeth. For long-term success of replantation, a healthy periodontal status of the recipient site is required so that delayed replantation is more suitable for periodontally involved teeth. To reveal the ...

inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) after orthodontic treatments is an unusual complication. this case report describes a non-vital maxillary premolar with symptomatic extensive ierr (with a crown/root ratio of 1:1) after receiving orthodontic treatment. the first appointment included drainage, chemo-mechanical preparation of the canal and intra-canal medication with calcium hydroxide ...
