  • Title: Treatment of root perforation by intentional reimplantation: a case report.
    Author: Poi WR, Sonoda CK, Salineiro SL, Martin SC.
    Journal: Endod Dent Traumatol; 1999 Jun; 15(3):132-4. PubMed ID: 10530157.
    Abstract:
    Intentional reimplantation is defined as a procedure in which an intentional tooth extraction is performed followed by reinsertion of the extracted tooth into its own alveolus. In this paper, intentional reimplantation is described and discussed as a treatment approach to root canal instrument separation in conjunction with root perforation. An 8-year follow-up case report is presented. The reimplanted tooth is now a fixed bridge abutment. Although successful in this case, the intentional reimplantation procedure should be considered a treatment of last resort, that is, when another treatment option is not viable for the treatment of root perforation/instrument retrieval.
