Summary:
Purpose: To present intentional replantation is reliable option when considering surgical root canal treatment
Materials/Methods:
-Nine cases of intentional replantation with variety of indication
-The retrograde filling was amalgam §-the follow up period Vries from 2 months to 4 years
Most highlighted Results:
-Various articles report success rates 72-85%
-8 cases showed good results with tissue healing
-Only One case showed persistent pathosis and failure after IR
-Causes of failure : root resorption , persistent chronic infection , mobility and fracture during extraction
-Most important factor for success is the time of the procedure extra-orally , all of the cases in this article the time extra-orally 5-10 mins
Clinical significance:
•IR is reliable procedure with high success rate and should be considered when we plan for surgical root canal treatment
•Time of the procedure extra-orally is very important factor
•IR is an inexpensive and quick procedure when we compare it with apical surgery
