Intra-alveolar transplantation. I. A 10-year follow-up of a method for surgical extrusion of root fractured teeth.
A group of 19 patients where traumatic root fractures were treated with surgical extrusion procedure has been clinically and radiographically followed up for 10 years. Except for one out of 21 intraalveolar transplanted roots all functioned with different kinds of crown restorations and without pathological complications. The surgical extrusion method should thus be a useful tool in the treatment of teeth with cervical root-fractures and also teeth with deep cervical root caries which are difficult to treat conservatively.
