Reply To: CBL#14: Intentional Replantation of a Mandibular Premolar

[Allen Ali Nasseh]

@BaylanDMD: I have another video on post op instructions of IR you can find here. https://realworldendo.com/what-are-post-op-instructions-for-intentional-replantations-friday-questions/

But essentially, the tooth takes several weeks to have various levels of PDL regeneration. Generally, after 6-8 weeks the bone should be back in shape and the tooth should be stable. Most mobility is during the first two weeks. For PO, I don’t place sutures most of the time and patient is told to close their jaw together if they feel movement to stabilize the reimplanted tooth. Most of the time, post op meds are not necessary.
