Abstract:
A case is reported of a mandibular second molar that underwent non-surgical endodontic treatment and intentional replantation in an effort to relieve continued symptoms. A 15.5-year follow-up clinical examination revealed the patient to be asymptomatic, the tooth to be still functional, and a recall film showed no evidence of root resorption. The indications for and limitations of intentional replantation as well as recommended literature on the subject are discussed.
