Intentional Replantation

Service Description

Conventional and surgical endodontic therapy are established as predictable clinical procedures that save teeth with pulpal disease.1,2 Such teeth would otherwise be extracted. When a tooth's pulp is irreversibly injured or infected subsequent to caries, cracks, trauma, or leaky restorations, endodontic therapy or extraction are the only viable options. While conventional endodontic therapy has been shown to have an excellent survival rate (97% over an 8-year period),3 this initial procedure can occasionally fail to address the entire source of infection, resulting in persistence of periapical symptoms.
