Intentional replantation is a tooth-saving procedure where a tooth is carefully removed, treated outside the mouth, and then placed back into its original position.
This approach may be considered when other treatment options are limited, such as when the problem area cannot be predictably accessed through traditional retreatment or surgery.
The procedure requires careful planning and precise technique to protect the tooth and surrounding tissues. When successful, intentional replantation allows patients to keep their natural tooth rather than moving directly toward extraction.
