Effect of polylactic acid on replanted teeth in dogs. 1981

L B Hardy, and R B O'Neal, and C E del Rio

An attempt to inhibit root resorption and ankylosis of replanted roots in the mandibles of dogs was made by coating the root segments with a biodegradable compound. Resorption was not inhibited, but ankylosis response was apparently averted until the compound began to degrade.
