Tooth avulsion represents 0.5-16% of traumatic injuries. Avulsion of a pre-eruptive left permanent maxillary incisor in a 6-year-old boy is presented. The immature tooth was replanted after rinsing with saline following 10 min dry extra-oral time. This case report describes treatment and a 2-year follow-up of the tooth. During the follow-up period, continuation of root development, pulp revascu...

For many years, intentional replantation has been a treatment option for pulpless teeth and an effective strategy for teeth that would be difficult, if not impossible, to treat using traditional root canal therapy. The preservation of cell vitality in the periodontal ligament, the removal of all tissue debris and irritating substances from the root surface, achievement of a good apical seal and...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Avulsion or exarticulation accounts for up to 16% of all traumatic injuries. It is most common in age group of 7 to 14 years. Following the loss of anterior teeth, the replacement is necessary to maintain esthetics, phonetics and avoid arch length discrepancy. Following replantation, postoperative care and management is done in several ways. CASE REPORT This article reports replant...

Replantation is widely accepted as an effective treatment option for an avulsed tooth. However, the long-term fate of replanted teeth is unpredictable; it is dependent on various factors such as the time interval between avulsion and replantation and the storage method of teeth during the extra-alveolar period The appropriate use of storage media is an important clinical factor affecting the po...

MTA has been investigated as a root-end filling material. Its mechanism of action has some similarities to that of Ca(OH)2. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repair process taking place in the delayed replantation of monkey teeth using calcium hydroxide and MTA as root canal filling materials. Five monkeys had their lateral incisors extracted and bench-dried for 60 minutes. After ro...
