Abstract

Background:  Intentional replantation is extraction of a tooth to do extraoral root canal therapy, curettage of apical lesion when present, and its replacement in its socket. In some cases, endodontic retreatment or apical surgery is impossible or impractical. In these situations, intentional replantation may be considered. To overcome any complications, the surgical procedure have to be rigorous, the extra-alveolar time properly managed and the splint adapted. Modern microsurgical techniques for traditional root-end surgery including the use of the DOM, staining medium, ultrasonic instruments, and newer, more biocompatible root-end filling materials, may also improve success or survival rates of intentionally replanted teeth.

Keywords: Dentistry, intentional, replantation.
