SP-43 Replant Before You Implant! a Contemporary Guide to Intentional Replantation

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Despite significant advancements in non-surgical and surgical endodontic techniques, certain teeth remain untreatable due to complex root morphology, anatomical constraints, failed interventions and procedural complications. Intentional Replantation, once considered an unpopular last-resort option, is regaining attention as a minimally invasive and predictable treatment alternative when conventional approaches fall short - offering a chance to retain teeth that might otherwise be extracted. However, the absence of a standardized clinical protocol has left many clinicians uncertain about the most effective and reliable techniques for performing this procedure. This presentation bridges that gap by integrating current literature with modern, evidence-based techniques to support clinical decision-making and establish a predictable treatment protocol. Case discussions will highlight the use of advanced imaging, magnification, and biomaterials to enhance efficiency and outcomes. Attendees will gain a practical framework for incorporating intentional replantation into their practice, deepen their understanding of the biologic principles involved, identify clear indications and contraindications, and follow a step-by-step protocol that emphasizes precision, efficiency, and long-term success.

Learning Objectives:  

• List key clinical, anatomical, and patient-related factors for case selection as well as clearly state the indications and contraindications of Intentional Replantation.
• Discuss predictable, evidence-based guidelines and modern techniques that integrate advanced imaging, magnification and proper clinical management to maximize successful outcomes.
• Discuss potential complications of Intentional Replantation and strategies for their prevention and management.
