Apical Revascularization after Delayed Tooth Replantation: An Unusual Case

Figure 1

(a) Initial radiograph after tooth replantation (tooth 11), evidencing the incomplete root formation, the MTA apical plug about 2 mm inside of root canal, and the intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide-based paste. (b) Radiographic examination after 2 months, revealing apical closure and slight increase in root length of the replanted tooth (tooth 11). Endodontic treatment was performed on the left central incisor (tooth 21). (c) Radiographic examination 6 months after treatment of tooth 11, revealing apical closure. (d) Final radiographic examination, after a follow-up of 1 year and 6 months, revealing apical closure and no sign of external root resorption of the replanted right central incisor (tooth 11).
