title: Use of hydroxyapatite in tooth replantation radiographically followed up for 14 years: a case report.
abstract: A lateral incisor was replanted 4 h after trauma. The tooth subsequently developed external root resorption treated with calcium hydroxide initially and with a hydroxyapatite root filling subsequently. Radiographs of the replanted tooth were obtained to follow up the patient for 14 years.
