Intentional replantation of an immature permanent lower incisor because of a refractory peri-apical lesion: case report and 5-year follow-up.

We performed an intentional replantation of an immature lower incisor that had a refractory peri-apical lesion. The incisor was extracted and the peri-apical lesion was removed by curettage. The root canal of the tooth was then rapidly irrigated, and filled with a calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste (Vitapex(R)), after which the tooth was fixed with an arch wire splint. Five years later, no clinical or radiographic abnormalities were found, and the root apex was obturated by an apical bridge formation. A team of two dentists is essential to prevent a prolonged operation time, thus eliminating any of the causes of ankylosis. Furthermore, calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste, along with an arch wire splint retained with composite resin, led to good healing of the periodontal tissue after the intentional replantation. Our results indicate that intentional replantation is a useful method for an immature tooth with refractory peri-apical problems.

Autogenous tooth transplantation: a reevaluation.

This paper discusses whether autogenous tooth transplantation can survive as an option in the future dental armamentaria. Clinically, successful transplants must show a radiolucent space between the roots and surrounding bone. There must be no evidence of ankylosis, no permanent root resorption, and no inflammation. Histologically, the criterion of success is a normal and functional periodontal ligament between the root surfaces of transplants and the bone or gingival connective tissues. Case reports are presented to illustrate replantation or transplantation of teeth. Possible donor teeth are those with the proper amount of viable periodontal ligament, single-rooted teeth, third molars, and malpositioned or impacted teeth. The transplantation procedure involves extraction of the donor tooth, measurement of the root form and amount of periodontal ligament, preservation of donor tooth, preparation of recipient socket, positioning of donor tooth, suturing, and temporary splinting.

The acrylic jacket crown.

An attempt has been made to cover briefly the many applications of the acrylic jacket crown. It is readily understandable that this type of restoration has many shortcomings but at the same time it has many useful and important applications in dentistry when properly employed. It is hoped that the specialist and generalist alike will have found some new and useful applications of the acrylic jacket crown.

Splinting: a retrospective 17-year follow-up study.

A retrospective 17-year, longitudinal study monitoring 66 patients with fixed partial denture and removable partial denture restorations revealed that perceptive splinting was beneficial and enhanced the longevity of the restoration. The study discussed the advantages and disadvantages of splinting, the survival rate of splints and splinted teeth, and the importance of oral hygiene and a periodic maintenance program.

The use of removable partial denture splints in the treatment of postsurgical tooth mobility.

The theory and clinical use of removable partial denture splints has been offered as a tenable solution to the problem of postsurgical tooth mobility. The close cooperation of the periodontic and prosthetic specialties is in many cases vital to the ultimate success of treatment and longevity of the dentition. Although not presented as a panacea, it is hoped that clinicians will bear this clinical entity in mind as an option in the treatment of periodontally debilitated dentitions.
