Abstract

Intentional replantation means deliberate tooth extraction for treatment and reinsertion into the same alveolar socket. In this paper, intentional replantation is described and discussed as a treatment approach to root canal instrument separation. The replanted tooth now can be an abutment tooth for a fixed bridge. Although successful in our case, the intentional replantation procedure should be considered as a treatment option of last resort, that is, when other treatment options are not available.
