A new method of tooth replantation and autotransplantation: aluminum oxide ceramic for extraoral retrograde root filling.
After an initial clinical test phase, the new method of replantation and transplantation with the use of aluminum oxide ceramic for retrograde root filling may be viewed as possible differential indications to other methods, even to apicectomy in the molar region. Twenty-three of the twenty-five replantations and eight of the nine transplantations may be regarded as having been successful. Contraindications are cases of wide apical foramina and oval or octagonal root canal cross sections.
