Abstract

|
|
Intentional replantation is a procedure in which an intentional tooth extraction is performed followed by reinsertion of the extracted tooth into its own alveolar socket. Intentional replantation was performed due to difficulties in anatomically accessing the lesions and/or close proximity to the thick cortical bone, inferior alveolar nerve, or maxillary sinus, which rendered the ordinary apicoectomy impossible. This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of the intentional replantation procedure performed on the maxillary and mandibular molars of 21 patients. During intentional replantation procedure, we used physics forcep for intentional extraction of teeth, Er:YAG laser for removal of apical granulation tissue, MTA for apical sealing. The success of the procedure was evaluated in terms of clinical and radiographic success. The results revealed the following: (a) 3 cases (14%) of extraction due to periodontal ligament reattachment; (b) 18 cases (86%) of normally functioning teeth without obvious problems.
