Abstract：AIM:To observe the curative effects of intentional replantation in the treament of maxillary antenor teeth with radicular grooves.METHODS:9 patients with radicular grooves on maxillary anterior teeth were treated by conventional root canal treatment and then intentional replantation.Follow-up examination was conducted 1 week,1 month and 3 years after treatment respectively.RESULTS:At 1-week recall after intentional replantation,7 of 9 teeth still had sinus tract,gingival tumefaction,purulent discharge and bled on probing from the teeth,the pocket depth were 4 ～ 6 mm,with teeth percussion(+-) and mobility of degree Ⅰ °;sinus tract closed in 2 cases.Radiographic examination revealed an extensive periradicular radiolucency involving the periapical and periodontal membrane.At 1-month recall,the sinus tract almost closed in 9 cases;the gingival were normal,the pocket depth were 2 ～3 mm,teech percussion(-),with no mebility.Radiographic examination revealed a dramatic decline of periradicular radiolucency of the periapical and periodontal membrane.At the evaluation appointment 3 years after treatment the gingival were normal without swelling,.purulent discharge,bleeding and gingival atrophy;the adjacent labial alveolar mucosa was health,the pocket depth was ＜2 mm,teech percussion(-),with no loose degree of the 9 teeth.The patients were asymptomatic with occlusion.Radiographic examination showed complete periapical and periodontal membrane healing.CONCLUSION:Intentional replantation is effective for the treatment of radicular grooves.
