Intentional replantation of a lower premolar
1School of Dental Science, The University of Melbourne, 711 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Victoria.
Abstract:
Intentional replantation is the purposeful extraction of a tooth to perform extraoral endodontic treatment, curettage of apical soft tissue when present and the replacement of the tooth in its socket. This paper demonstrates the use of intentional replantation as a technique to successfully treat a case where conventional endodontic retreatment and apical surgery were considered unfeasible.
