title: Use of acrylate root reproduction in replantation and tranplantation of teeth.
abstract: A method to prepare and test the fitness of the alveolus in the jaw before transplantation of teeth is carried out. An impacted canine from a 30-year-old woman was extracted and stored in tissue culture for 3 weeks. The tooth was then transferred to a semisolid tissue culture medium for preparing an artificial alveolus. Methylacrylate was then poured into the alvelous and was left to solidify at room temperature. Thereafter the root model was removed from the medium and a screw was fixed in the upper part. This root model was used in testing the fitness of the prepared alveolus before the root was transplanted. The advantage of the technique is that the reproduction of the root could replace the transplant during the fitting procedure to avoid damage to the periodontal membrane.
