title: Postreplantation management of avulsed teeth: an endodontic literature review.
abstract: Today's dental treatment goals are directed at reducing the incidence of root resorption resulting from periodontal ligament devitalization or pulp necrosis. Although the American Association of Endodontists recommends the use of long-term therapy, short-term therapy may be utilized with confidence in well-defined clinical applications. Early final obturation with gutta-percha will increase the long-term prognosis in those cases where patient motivation is questionable or long-term follow-up prior to obturation is not possible. However, where inflammatory resorption is already present, long-term calcium hydroxide therapy is indicated. Long-term post treatment follow-up is imperative in both calcium hydroxide therapies.
