Intentional replantation: a case report.

摘要

Nonsurgical retreatment and surgical endodontics are not always viable solutions to endodontic disease. Access for retreatment may be limited by posts. Surgical endodontics may be limited by anatomical features including bone thickness and nerve and sinus proximity. Anatomical limitations and complex restorations may prevent implant placement. Intentional replantation is considered by many as a procedure of last resort when nonsurgical or surgical endodontics is contra-indicated. The treatment described demonstrates intentional replantation as a procedure to be considered when endodontic procedures or a dental implant are not possible.
