|July 1, 1978
Summary
Root canal therapy in dogs showed satisfactory healing and bone regeneration after reimplantation. However, root canal sealer extrusion impacted normal coronal healing.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Root canal therapy is a common endodontic procedure.
- Reimplantation of avulsed teeth can be a treatment option.
- Understanding healing dynamics after surgical intervention is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate healing and osseous regeneration after root canal therapy, extraction, contouring, reimplantation, and submersion of dog mandibular premolars.
- To assess the effect of extruded root canal sealer on healing outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Root canal therapy was performed on mandibular premolars in four dogs.
- Teeth were extracted, contoured, reimplanted, and submerged.
- Healing and resorption were monitored over 60 days.
- The impact of extruded sealer on the coronal root surface was observed.
Main Results:
- Satisfactory healing and evidence of coronal osseous regeneration were observed up to 60 days post-reimplantation.
- Root canal sealer extruded from the coronal orifice after submersion.
- Extruded sealer appeared to negatively affect normal healing on the coronal root surface.
Conclusions:
- Reimplantation following root canal therapy can lead to favorable healing and regeneration in dogs.
- Extrusion of root canal sealer is a potential complication that may impede normal coronal healing.
