Scanning electron microscopy revealed distinct root resorption patterns in two replanted incisors. One showed inflammatory resorption with bacterial presence, while the other exhibited replacement resorption near a metal post.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Biology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Replanted teeth can undergo root resorption, a process where tooth structure is lost.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of root resorption is crucial for improving treatment outcomes.
  • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) offers high-resolution imaging for detailed analysis of root surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the ultrastructural changes associated with root resorption in replanted human incisors.
  • To differentiate between inflammatory and replacement resorption based on SEM observations.

Main Methods:

  • Two human upper central incisors, replanted and subsequently expelled, were examined.
  • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze the root surfaces for signs of resorption.

Main Results:

  • Specimen 1 exhibited deep excavations and bacterial elements on exposed root canal walls, indicative of inflammatory resorption.
  • Specimen 2 showed resorption denuding a metal post, with erosive lacunae and tubiform excavations exposing collagen, suggesting replacement resorption.

Conclusions:

  • Replanted incisors demonstrate varied root resorption patterns, influenced by factors like inflammation and the presence of foreign materials.
  • SEM analysis is valuable for characterizing the distinct ultrastructural features of inflammatory versus replacement resorption.
