Considerations about teeth replants: clinic and orthodontic procedures in these situations

Abstract

Based on a literature review, the objective of this study is to establish the degree of dental analysis or root resorption that allows replanted teeth to be moved using orthodontic appliance. Some aspects of avulsion and replanted teeth such as etiology, clinical approach and prognosis are considered. It is also presented a literature review of orthodontic tooth movement. According to most authors, the replant is frequently followed by analysis that doesn't allow orthodontic movement. Nevertheless, the lack of resorption signs during a minimum period of one year allows orthodontic treatment when necessary.
