Abstract: Intentional replantation is a process that involves purposeful tooth extraction and subsequent reinsertion of the removed tooth.Intentional replantation may be a therapeutic option worth considering to preserve the natural teeth and prevent tooth extraction, even though the success rate is not always high.Systemically healthy male patient was referred to our department.Diagnosis was chronic periodontitis and class III mobility was noted at the right maxillary central incisor with complete periodontal attachment loss.After phase I therapy periodontally involved tooth was extracted, endodontic treatment was accomplished, the tooth was replanted and stabilized with a composite wire splint.At the end of 3 years tooth was in function with alveolar bone gain.Intentional replantation provided long-term maintenance of patient's own teeth and can be considered as an alternative treatment option tooth with hopeless prognosis.
