  • Title: Management of an avulsed tooth with severe root resorption.
    Author: Meon R.
    Journal: Singapore Dent J; 1988 Dec; 13(1):53-6. PubMed ID: 3155008.
    Abstract:
    Delayed replantation of an avulsed tooth with an open apex resulted in failure of revascularization, necrosis of the pulp and extensive external root resorption. Removal of the necrotic pulp and repeated intra-canal dressings of calcium hydroxide over a three year period arrested the inflammatory resorptive process. The process was replaced by replacement resorption leading to ankylosis and infra-occlusion of the affected tooth. As the tooth was asymptomatic, it was retained in the arch to act as a space maintainer. To improve aesthetics, the crown was recontoured using a light-cured resin.
