Abstract : This case report describes the 12yr progress of replanted teeth for injured total luxation.
The patient was a 25-yr-old female. She lived on a secluded island where there was no dentist.
The history indicated that both of the upper central incisers and left lateral inciser were totally avulsed for during swimming in the sea when she was a 13-yr-old.
Those teeth were replanted immediatly after endodontic treatment by the dentist who had volunteered on the island at the accident.
A splint was made of a double strand of 0.1 mm stainless steel wire covered with acrylic resin.
In this case, the replanted teeth have maintained normal function for a long period. After 12 years, she complained of slight pain and abscess formation on labial gingiva of left central incisor. Radiographic examination showed severe resorption of their roots and alveolar bone. We dicided that the teeth were extracted for severe resorption of their roots and alveolar bone, finally a temporary denture was applied.
