Tooth replantation is an operation in which a tooth is removed from its socket and then reinserted into its place. This procedure may be necessary if injury or infection has resulted in tooth loss. Replantation can be carried out for one tooth or for several.
Tooth replantation can be performed using various methods. One of the most common is a method called “closed replantation.” In this method, the tooth is left in the gum and then covered with a special material that helps protect it from infection and damage.
Before a tooth is replanted, a number of tests and examinations must be performed to ensure that the tooth can be restored. In addition, it is necessary to make sure that the patient has no contraindications to tooth replantation.
After replantation is performed, the patient must follow the doctor's recommendations regarding the care of teeth and gums. This will help prevent re-damage to the tooth and speed up its recovery.
In general, tooth replantation is a complex and responsible procedure that can only be performed by experienced specialists. However, if a tooth has been lost due to injury or infection, then replantation may be the only way to restore it.
