Survival of Avulsed Maxillary Incisors Following Delayed Replantation: 3-year Follow-up
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
A 12-year-old boy had reported with avulsed 11, 12, and 21 after a delay of 12 h. The avulsed teeth were replanted and splinted using an acid-etch composite splint for 4 weeks. Extraoral endodontic therapy was performed before replantation. Before the splint was removed, the root canals were filled with a definite sealer and gutta-percha. The patient was followed up at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month interval and half-yearly thereafter. After 36 months of follow-up, the replanted teeth showed slight clinical mobility, but the roots were being replaced by bone on radiographic examination indicating replacement resorption. The case report concludes that avulsed teeth transported in pasteurized milk, replanted after a delay of 12 h has a survival rate of 36 months. Replacement resorption is inevitable, wherever delayed replantation is attempted. Prolong delayed replantation serves the esthetic purpose for a young adolescent in the interim phase of developing occlusion.
