Intentional Replantation as a Viable Option for Crown-Root Fracture in Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report.

Abstract

Crown-root fractures are often challenging to treat and have a poor prognosis. The present case explains the successful management of a vertically fractured tooth treated by intentional replantation in a 12-year-old child. The patient underwent a successful 12-month follow-up, which included a mobility test and measurement of the gingival sulcus depth. Additionally, a radiological assessment was performed to evaluate the root resorption, the integrity of the alveolar cortex, and the periodontal space. We suggest that intentional replantation may be an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of cases of vertical crown-root fractures.
