Background: Intentional replantation is extraction of a tooth to do extraoral root canal therapy, curettage of apical lesion when present, and its replacement in its socket. The most common causes of failure in intentionally replanted teeth are external resorption and ankylosis caused by periodontal ligament damage. We hypothesized that if proliferative cells derived from healthy periodontal ligament could cover a damaged site, the success rate of implantation and replantation would increase and thus widen its application. The purpose of this study was to histologically evaluate the influence of tissue culture on healing following implantation of root with remaining periodontal ligament cultured in vitro into a mandibular bone cavity.
Methods: Twenty incisors of 5 beagles were extracted and for.. View More»
