Abstract

Periodontitis after endodontic treatment is mainly caused by a persistent bacterial infection at the root canal level and in the periradicular tissues. However, there is a 5% to 15% prevalence where bacteria can persist in adequate endodontic treatments that are generally caused by atypical internal morphologies that prevent the access of instruments and antimicrobial irrigating agents to areas with anatomical difficulty. This article describes a clinical case of a mandibular second molar with an atypical apical internal morphology, which presented symptoms associated with canal filling in its first intervention. The tooth was immediately reimplanted intentionally and fixed with an X-shaped suture for two weeks. Appropriate intervention with intentional replantation resulted in the resolution of symptoms and healing of periradicular tissue with clinical and radiographic follow-up for two years.
