Abstract:
This study has provided information concerning the limitation of inflammatory root resorption of autotransplanted maxillary canine teeth. It has been shown that early post-operative endodontic therapy significantly decreases the occurrence of inflammatory root resorption (P less than 0.001) but does not change the prevalence of replacement root resorption. It is argued that by limiting inflammatory resorption the prognosis for autotransplanted teeth is considerably improved.
