title: Intentional replantation.
abstract: When conventional endodontic treatment or retreatment and surgery are not feasible, a clinician may choose to replant the defective tooth. Intentional replantation consists of extracting the tooth, finding and correcting the defect, and replanting the tooth in its socket. This article describes five case reports in which intentional replantation was used as a last resort. Four (80%) of the five patients were successfully treated.
