title: Replantation of enzymatically treated teeth in monkeys. Part I.
abstract: Chemical alterations in cementum of avulsed teeth may be implied as a causative factor in their eventual resorption when replanted. Root surface decalcification, with subsequent enzymatic deletion of glycoproteins and cross linking of cementum collagen, results in little or no root resorption for up to 3 months after replantation.
