vervangenresorptie

Vervangenresorptie, also known as replacement resorption, is a process in which a tooth is removed from the mouth and then re-implanted into the same or a different location. This procedure is typically performed to address issues such as impacted teeth, malocclusions, or to replace a tooth that has been lost due to trauma or disease. The process involves several steps:

First, the tooth to be replaced is extracted. This is done under local anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort. The extraction site is then allowed to heal for a period, typically a few weeks, to ensure proper healing and to prevent infection.

Once the extraction site has healed, the replacement tooth is prepared. This may involve reshaping the tooth to fit the extraction site or using a dental implant to provide a stable foundation for the new tooth. The tooth is then placed into the extraction site, and the area is sutured closed.

Vervangenresorptie can be a successful treatment option for patients with certain dental issues. However, it is important to note that the success of the procedure depends on various factors, including the patient's overall health, the condition of the extraction site, and the type of tooth being replaced. It is recommended that patients consult with a dental professional to discuss the potential benefits and risks of this procedure.
