Surgical Endodontics for Traumatized Young Permanent Teeth

抄録

A clinical follow-up study on traumatized young permanent teeth which treated by surgical endodontics was made. These teeth had progressive root resorption, ankylosis, or endodontic-periodontic lesions. The cases included 3 teeth from 3 patients aged 8 to 10 years at their initial visits. The treatments were curettage and resin filling of resorption cavities before intentional tooth replantation or surgical extrusion. Successful treatment relies on the complete removal of granulation tissue or the protection of resorption cavities by resin filling, and the proper splinting.
