Management of External Root Resorption Associated with a Replanted Maxillary Central Incisor in an 11-Year-Old Patient: A Rare Case Report

Avulsion of permanent teeth is one of the serious injuries that require immediate attention in a dental setup and immediate replantation and splinting is the treatment of choice. The replantation of avulsed tooth improves aesthetics, occlusion, and function. Most common complication of tooth replantation is inflammatory external root resorption. Mineral trioxide aggregate is a calcium silicate-based material that maintains high alkaline pH for a longer duration and it helps in preventing inflammatory external root resorption. The purpose of this article is to report the successful management of inflammatory external root resorption associated with a replanted maxillary right central incisor using MTA in an 11-year-old girl with one-year follow-up.
