Delayed tooth replantation and inflammatory root resorption in childhood and adolescence

J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2019;33(2):623-627.

Abstract

Avulsion of one or more permanent teeth represents an emergency in dentistry. The main treatment is the replantation of the tooth/teeth as soon as possible to decrease possible complications. However, this is not always possible, and, in many cases, the patient undergoes a delayed replantation and subsequently prosthetic and implant treatments.

Keywords: ankylosis; avulsion; delayed replantation; dental trauma; guided bone regeneration; inflammatory root resorption.
