Intentional reimplantation

Abstract

The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of intentional reimplantation as an alternative to endodontic surgery, where due to the vicinity of critical anatomical structures, surgical approach was risky. Atraumatic extraction was performed followed by the removal of previously extruded gutta-percha, re-root canal treatment, and along with root-end filling with mineral trioxide aggregate, preceding reimplantation.
