Puzzling Pain Of Retained Gutta- Percha (GP) :A Unique Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
When a tooth is avulsed and replanted following traumatic dental injury, complications such as replacement and inflammatory resorption are a common sequelae. Ultimately, resorption may result in loss of the tooth. This case report describes a traumatic injury (Avulsion) to a permanent tooth resulting in complete root resorption within a short period after endodontic treatment, which required surgery because of persistent GP cones in bone. Even if it is impossible to avoid resorption completely, the overall knowledge of both dentists and patients regarding traumatic dental injuries should be improved to delay the progress of resorption.
