Root Surface Treatment of Avulsed Teeth-A Review

The chances of root surface damage are higher when tooth replantation is not performed immediately or if the avulsed tooth is not stored in an adequate medium.This invariably leads to necrosis of pulp tissue, periodontal ligament cells and cementum, thus increasing the possibility of root resorption, which is the main cause of loss of replanted teeth.This paper presents a comprehensive on material used for root surface treatments to remove necrotic cemental periodontal ligament thus improving the prognosis of avulsed teeth.
