Intentional Replantation for Inaccessible Canal Treatment Procedure

At London Dental Specialists, our Intentional Replantation for Inaccessible Canal Treatment is a sophisticated procedure designed to save teeth that cannot be treated with conventional root canal therapy. This advanced technique involves carefully extracting the problematic tooth, performing necessary endodontic treatment outside the mouth, and skilfully replanting it back into its original socket.

Our experienced endodontists follow these key steps during the procedure:

1. Atraumatic Extraction: We use specialised techniques to gently remove the tooth, preserving the surrounding periodontal ligament and bone.



2. Extra-oral Endodontic Treatment: Once extracted, we perform thorough root canal treatment, including:
   
   
   
   • Removal of infected or necrotic pulp tissue
   
   
   • Cleaning and shaping of the root canal system
   
   
   • Addressing any anatomical complexities or previous treatment failures
   
   
   
   



3. Root-end Resection and Filling: We carefully remove the apical portion of the root and place a biocompatible root-end filling material to seal the canal.



4. Examination and Repair: We thoroughly inspect the tooth for any fractures or defects, repairing them as necessary.



5. Replantation: The treated tooth is gently repositioned into its original socket, ensuring proper alignment and fit.



6. Stabilisation: If needed, we use a flexible splint to stabilise the tooth for a short period, promoting optimal healing.

Throughout the procedure, we utilise state-of-the-art equipment and precise surgical techniques to ensure minimal trauma to the periodontal ligament and surrounding tissues. This meticulous approach helps to promote successful reattachment and long-term tooth retention.

Our team at London Dental Specialists is highly skilled in performing this complex procedure, which typically takes 30-60 minutes. We prioritise patient comfort and use local anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.

Intentional replantation offers several advantages for treating inaccessible canals:

• Preservation of natural tooth structure


• Ability to address complex root anatomy or previous treatment failures


• Avoidance of more invasive surgical procedures


• Potential for long-term tooth retention

Following the procedure, we provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure the best possible outcome. Our commitment to excellence in endodontic care ensures that you receive the highest quality treatment for your inaccessible canal case.

Post Intentional Replantation for Inaccessible Canal Treatment Care

Post-treatment care is crucial for the long-term success of your Intentional Replantation procedure at London Dental Specialists. After your tooth has been successfully replanted, proper aftercare ensures optimal healing and reattachment of the periodontal ligament, maximising the chances of retaining your natural tooth for years to come.

Our comprehensive post-treatment care protocol includes:

• Initial healing period (first 48 hours): During this critical time, we recommend:
  
  
  
  • Soft diet to avoid pressure on the replanted tooth
  
  
  • Careful oral hygiene around the treated area
  
  
  • Prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection
  
  
  • Anti-inflammatory medications to manage discomfort
  
  
  
  



• Splint removal appointment: If a splint was placed, we'll schedule a follow-up visit to remove it, typically 7-14 days after the procedure.



• Regular monitoring appointments: We'll schedule periodic check-ups to:
  
  
  
  • Assess healing progress through clinical examination
  
  
  • Evaluate tooth stability and function
  
  
  • Monitor for any signs of root resorption
  
  
  • Take follow-up radiographs to verify bone healing
  
  
  
  

You may experience some normal post-procedure symptoms, including mild discomfort, slight mobility of the tooth, and sensitivity to pressure. These typically resolve within a few weeks as healing progresses. Our team will provide detailed guidance on managing these symptoms effectively.

Long-term care for your replanted tooth involves:

1. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene to prevent infection around the healing tissues


2. Regular dental check-ups to monitor the tooth's condition


3. Avoiding excessive forces on the replanted tooth, particularly during the first few months


4. Prompt reporting of any unusual symptoms or concerns

At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to your ongoing care following Intentional Replantation. Our success rates for this procedure are high, with studies showing retention rates of 88-93% when proper post-treatment protocols are followed. Our specialists will remain available to address any concerns that may arise during your recovery period.

The healing process following Intentional Replantation typically involves reattachment of the periodontal ligament, formation of new cementum, and regeneration of supporting tissues. While complete healing may take several months, most patients can resume normal function relatively quickly. Our team will provide personalised guidance throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome for your inaccessible canal treatment.
