Abstract:

With the development of periodontal regenerative technology, an increasing number of scholars reported that advanced periodontitis involving teeth can be preserved through intentional replantation. Intentional replantation has become the last possible method to preserve natural teeth for advance periodontitis with signs of tooth extraction. However, the indications of intentional replantation are strict, and the success of the operation is closely related to the condition of cases and the operation skills of doctors. In this article, the operation steps and criteria of intentional replantation were summarized by introducing three success cases of advanced periodontitis involving teeth preserved by intentional replantation. The relevant factors that affect the prognosis of intentional replantation in advanced periodontitis involving teeth preservation were analyzed to help clinicians preserve natural teeth.

Key words: intentional replantation, advanced periodontitis, natural teeth preservation
