The effects of indomethacin on resorption and ankylosis in replanted teeth.
Indomethacin, a nonsteroidal, antiinflammatory analgesic, interferes with the action of prostaglandin synthetase such that osteoclastic activity is reduced. Encouraging results were obtained, pointing toward an improved long-term prognosis for replanted teeth, and as a possible solution to excessive root resorption.
