Abstract:

Replacement resorption is the most frequent complication after delayed replantation of avulsed teeth. The resorption can interfere with the development of the alveolar ridge and lead to tilt of the adjacent teeth in growing patients. However, there is no means of arresting or reversing the process. Recently decoronation is recommended by International Assocaition of Dental Traumatology as the optimal choice to manage it. This paper demonstrates the procedure and effecti-veness of the decoronation by literature review and a case report with 4-year follow-up.

Key words: avulsed teeth, delayed replantation, replacement resorption, decoronation
