Abstract
Maxillary central incisor teeth were extracted and replanted in three groups of vervet monkeys after extraoral periods of 30 to 120 minutes after topical treatment of the roots with physiological saline solution, acidulated sodium fluoride, or neutral sodium fluoride solutions. An additional group of monkeys with replanted teeth received 20 MRC (Medical Research Council) units of thyrocalcitonin by daily intramuscular injection for eight weeks. The roots of the replanted teeth were histologically examined eight weeks postoperatively, and a histometric analysis was performed to assess healing, inflammation, and resorption. No statistically significant differences at the 1% level were found between the criteria assessed in the four groups of experimental animals. These results suggest that topical treatment with the fluoride solutions and the parenteral administration of thyrocalcitonin did not significantly modify the healing response to experimental tooth replantation.
