One of the alternatives to permanent tooth removal is intentional reimplantation. A tooth saved by reimplantation can later serve as a support for various types of dental prostheses. Tooth replantation is indicated if there is an infection in the periapical area unresponsive to conservative treatment or apicoectomy is not possible, etc. The female patient S. presented with missing teeth and significant coronal decay both on the upper and lower jaws. Three months after the teeth had been extracted and reimplanted, the patient underwent another panoramic radiography scan. On the post-op orthopantomogram the dental cement appeared evenly distributed in the root canals and the trabecular bone tissue was rebuilding in the periapical area of the replanted teeth. Later, we installed fixed dental porcelain-fused-to-metal prostheses supported by the replanted teeth. The patient also received removable dentures. A 2-year follow-up showed no signs of pathologic mobility in the replanted teeth, robust trabecular tissue regeneration in the periapical area and stability of dental prostheses supported by the replanted teeth.
