tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket. the treatment of choice is immediate replantation or if that is not possible, placement of the tooth in an appropriate storage media. this report presents replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor after 12 hours of storage in milk. the tooth was replanted and splinted. one week later, it w...

Tooth avulsion is referred as complete displacement of tooth from the alveolar socket. It may involve both primary and permanent tooth as well. The management and outcome of such avulsion depends on speedy location of avulsed tooth and immediate replantation within the socket as the chances of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells survival decreases with increase in extra-oral dry time. The delayed ...

AIM To evaluate if endodontic and fluoride treatment of the root before delayed replantation would render the tooth a favorable prognosis. METHODS A 10-year-old boy reported 10 hours after he had avulsed his maxillary right permanent central incisor. The pulp and PDL cells were considered to be nonviable. Endodontic treatment for the tooth was performed extraorally and obturated with gutta-pe...

AIM To report the intentional replantation of a maxillary central incisor with a crown-root fracture. SUMMARY An 11-year-old girl was referred to a paediatric clinic with an extensive crown-root fracture of the maxillary right central incisor (tooth 11) with pulp exposure. Radiographs revealed that tooth 11 had a periapical radiolucent lesion, which suggested pulpal necrosis. The treatment op...

BACKGROUND Tooth replantation after traumatic avulsion or transplantation is a challenge in oral surgery. A special method named auto-alloplastic replantation, in which a titanium post is used after extraoral endodontic treatment, combines several advantages. The treatment is performed in one step with no further endodontic intervention, no wide root canal instrumentation, no recontamination, a...

this case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. in all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement is used for root-end filling. this case series demonstrates twenty cases of ir and extraoral root-end resection and filling with cem cement. all the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...
