Non-surgical Endodontic therapies have a very good success rate. In some cases failures may occur which can be managed by non-surgical endodontic re-treatment or endodontic surgical intervention. Intentional replantation is an accepted procedure in which a tooth is extracted and treated outside the oral cavity, then reinserted into its socket to correct an obvious radiographic or clinical endod...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate time-related dental tissue reactions to tooth replantation in mature and immature human premolars by histomorphometric and radiographic methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty premolars were extracted, immediately replanted (T0), and left without intervention for 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 weeks before re-extraction (T1). Periapical radi...

Several growth factors have been used in tissue regeneration therapy. Here we describe the use of an autologous blood clot combined with gelatin for teeth affected by severe periodontitis and vertical root fracture treated using three oral surgical procedures: periodontal flap surgery, intentional tooth replantation (IR), and tooth autotransplantation. Treatment with a blood clot improved the c...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Although intentional replantation for extraoral treatment is a solution for complicated endodontic cases, it is accompanied with risk of root resorption which is most likely due to extraction trauma and infected remnants. Laser therapies have long been proved for bactericidal and biostimulation effects. In the present case, a pulpitis combined severe periodontal destruction m...

Referred patient 14 years old (in orthodontic treatment) for a suspected resorption on 2.1 that was exposed to trauma [1]. After an apical x ray, cone beam performed have complete diagnosis [2,3]. Almost the 80% of root is resorbed, after achieving parents’ consent treatment, planned intentional replantation [4] and retrograde approach. In case like this treatment’s goal stop resorption, removi...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the main post-traumatic complications of severe luxation and replanted teeth using clinical and radiographic analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-three patients aged between 7 and 55 years old presenting 180 traumatized teeth that suffered extrusive luxation (n=67), lateral luxation (n=69), intrusive luxation (n=10) and tooth avulsion (n=34) followe...

When a tooth is avulsed and replanted following traumatic dental injury, complications such as replacement and inflammatory resorption may occur. Ultimately, resorption may result in loss of the tooth. This case report describes a traumatic injury to a permanent tooth resulting in complete root resorption within a short period, which required surgery. In the present case, improper treatment mea...
