Intentional Replantation After Failed Endodontic Treatment: Two Case Reports

Abstract

Intentional replantation is a procedure based on the principle of extracting the tooth in cases where endodontic treatment has failed through conventional or surgical approaches, evaluating and treating the root end extraorally, and then replanting the tooth into its socket. This case report presents the treatment of two cases using the intentional replantation method: one in which healing was not observed after retreatment, and another with external root resorption. In both cases, clinical and radiographic evaluations performed 12 months after replantation revealed continued healing and function.
