Question 232 · LDEK · Trauma to permanent teeth
Indicate the true statements on the treatment provided in the case of a replanted tooth with the mature (closed) root apex:
1) root canal treatment should be performed in all avulsed teeth, regardless the time of avulsion and the kind of medium the tooth was kept in before replantation;
2) root canal treatment should be started before the removal of the splint from the teeth;
3) root canal treatment should be performed “in hand”, outside the alveolar socket, before replanting the tooth;
4) root canal treatment should be performed in the case of the necrosis of the pulp;
5) root canal treatment should be delayed because pulp revascularization can occur.
The correct answer is:
2) root canal treatment should be started before the removal of the splint from the teeth;
3) root canal treatment should be performed “in hand”, outside the alveolar socket, before replanting the tooth;
4) root canal treatment should be performed in the case of the necrosis of the pulp;
5) root canal treatment should be delayed because pulp revascularization can occur.
The correct answer is:
- A. only 1.
- B. 1,2.
- C. 1,3.
- D. 4,5.
- E. only 4.
Hint
In a mature tooth the pulp cannot revascularise; consider when endodontic treatment should start relative to splint removal.
