Replantation for the treatment of transverse intra-alveolar root fracture.
This case report examines the effectiveness of extraoral treatment of a traumatized maxillary central incisor with a transverse intra-alveolar root fracture. Both the coronal and root segments were extracted after anesthetic injection. After treatment of the pulpal cavity, the segments were synthesized with a composite resin and a canal reamer. The extracted tooth was replanted into the original socket. This method is an alternative treatment for transverse intra-alveolar root fracture, which is presently an indication for dental extraction in almost all cases.
