Ultrasonic endodontic therapy, first introduced in 1957, is rapidly gaining popularity as a means of root canal debridement and enlargement. The most recent literature regarding the clinical and experimental work done with ultrasonic endodontic devices is presented, as well as clinical considerations relative to the use of ultrasonic endodontic treatment.
Although prognosis for the avulsed tooth is guarded, replantation, followed by a brief period of splinting and endodontic therapy, is suggested. Minimal extraoral period, minimal manipulation of the root surface and alveolus, and moist storage for the tooth are identified as factors that minimize resorption. Education of coaches, teachers, and all dentists in the technique of replantation is encouraged.
