Abstract

COAGUILA-LLERENA, Hernán; ZUBIATE-MEZA, Javier  and  MENDIOLA-AQUINO, Carlos. A view of intentional replantation as alternative to tooth extraction. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.3, pp.224-231. ISSN 1019-4355.

A conservative philosophy is the most important in contemporary dental practice. It involves not only the conservation of tooth structure, but also the preservation of the surrounding tissues. Intentional replantation is indicated in cases where a proper root canal is extremely difficult, or when an apical surgery may be compromised for various reasons. This literature review will address the indications, contraindications, and technical principles of this paraendodontic surgical procedure. Also, will discuss its feasibility as conservative option before tooth extraction.

Keywords : Endodontics; oral surgical procedures; tooth replantation.
