Summary:
Purpose: to report 31 cases of Intentional replantation
Materials/Methods:
• Conventional RCT was preformed to 31 maxillary and mandibular teeth (18 upper and lower molars and 13 premolars and anterior )
•The patients were instructed to rinse his mouth with chlorohexidine mouthwash 2 % before procedure to reduce the incidence of bacteremia after extraction
•Antibiotics were prescribed before and after the procedure
•Criteria for successful case when there is reduction of periapical lesion after 6 months or complete regeneration of lamina dura within 2-4 years •If the patient complains of discomfort , tenderness with percussion , deep periodontal pocket or sinus tract , the case was classified as failure
Most highlighted Results:
-Out of 31 replanted teeth , 6 cases were failed and over all success rate 80.6%
-18 upper and lower molars including 4 failures and the success rate was 77.8%
-§13 premolars and anterior including 2 failures and the success rate was 84.7
Clinical significance:
• Intentional replantation should be considered as treatment option in endodontic surgery especially on the premolar and anterior teeth (higher success rate than posterior teeth )
