Question 309 · LDEK · Resorption
In a 29-year-old patient the replantation of tooth 11, together with endodontic treatment was performed. After one year a periapical x-ray picture was taken. It revealed the absence of the periodontal ligament space and a blurred view of the root structures in relation to bone tissues. What is the correct diagnosis and indicated treatment?
- A. ankylosis; immobilization for 7-10 days.
- B. endo-perio lesion; secondary root canal treatment.
- C. inflammatory root resorption; removal of the crown.
- D. replacement resorption; no effective treatment, further follow-up.
- E. replacement resorption; surgical procedure with the use of MTA.
Hint
Loss of the PDL space with root and bone merging after replantation points to one resorption type; ask whether it can be stopped.
