Clinical evaluation of gold foil as an apical sealing material for replantation.
Intentional replantation of mandibular molars was performed in forty patients. Different materials were used for sealing the apex. Healing was assessed by measuring biting force at 2-month intervals for up to 6 months. Gold foil was found to be the best material for apical sealing when improvement in biting force was used as the criterion.
