Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the treatment outcome of intentional replantation of molars. Patients and Methods: Twenty-nine patients were treated with intentional replantation because conventional apicoectomy was not possible. The success rate was judged by clinical and radiographic parameters. Results: One molar (3%) had to be removed because of pain and mobility 4 weeks postsurgery, and three molars (11%) had to be removed during the first year because of periodontal problems. Four molars (14%) showed periodontal problems or root resorption, but are still in function and causing no obvious problems to the patients. Twenty-one molars (72%) were successfully treated. Conclusion: Intentional replantation is a reliable and predictable treatment for those cases in which conventional apicoectomy is hampered because of anatomic limitations or patient factors.
