Submergence of roots for alveolar bone preservation. II. Reimplanted endodontically treated roots. 1978

T Gound, and R B O'Neal, and C E del Rio, and M P Levin

Root canal therapy was accomplished on the mandibular premolars of four dogs. These premolars were then extracted, contoured, reimplanted, and submerged. Resorption occurred up to 60 days; healing progressed satisfactorily, with some evidence of coronal osseous regeneration. Root canal sealer was expressed out the coronal orifice after the roots were submerged. This sealer appeared to affect normal healing over the coronal surface of the roots.

D010518	Periodontitis	Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012391	Root Resorption	Resorption in which cementum or dentin is lost from the root of a tooth owing to cementoclastic or osteoclastic activity in conditions such as trauma of occlusion or neoplasms. (Dorland, 27th ed)	Resorption, Root,Resorptions, Root,Root Resorptions

D014092	Tooth Root	The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.
