  • Title: Bone morphology after delayed tooth replantation - case series.
    Author: Tsukiboshi M, Tsukiboshi T.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2014 Dec; 30(6):477-83. PubMed ID: 24720285.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report was to describe the morphological changes in the alveolar bone after delayed replantation of avulsed teeth using three dimensional cone-beam computed tomography in 11 during the time period 2003-2012. The radiographic observations revealed the following: Delayed replantation results in ankylosis-related replacement root resorption; the resorption is delayed or arrested around the cervical area superior to the alveolar crest. The buccal bone is reduced in thickness but not the palatal bone. The buccal bone resorption of the alveolar crest progresses approximately to the root canal space of the ankylosed root. Delayed replantation does not completely maintain the bone volume. The buccal profile of alveolar bone in the maxillary anterior region is depending on teeth with viable periodontal ligament.
