(TC82) Intentional replantation for management of inaccessible external invasive cervical resorptions

The management of external invasive cervical resorption (EICR) usually includes surgical approach to seal portals of entry or internal management when surgical access is not feasible. Continuation of resorption following intervention may suggest poor prognosis and can often lead to tooth extraction.  

In this table clinic, we are presenting a novel approach to manage a non-successful cervical root resorption by the means of intentional replantation. The treatment protocol consisted of atraumatic extraction,cleaning the resorptive defect and placement of a composite resin, followed by reinsertion and splinting. At the follow up, clinical and radiographic examinations demonstrated complete healing of the periapical area, remodelling of the crestal bone and no evidence of further root resorption or ankylosis. This table clinic demonstrates that  intentional replantation is a viable treatment option for inaccessible EICR.
