Article Synopsis
- - Intentional replantation (IR) involves removing a tooth and then putting it back into its socket to perform necessary repairs like root-end surgery, especially useful when regular surgical access is limited.
- - Recent advancements in technology, like magnification and bioceramics, have made IR a reliable and scientifically backed option compared to traditional microsurgery.
- - The article covers the reasons for choosing IR, outlines the treatment process, and shares results on its effectiveness and cost benefits compared to single-implant procedures.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare, in vivo, the accuracy of working length determination using only the Root-ZX electronic apex locator versus adjusting Root-ZX measurements after obtaining a working length radiograph.
Study Design: The working length was determined in 25 premolar root canals using Root-ZX and K-files were fixed at these positions. Radiographs were acquired and interpreted, and the recorded working length measurement was adjusted, if necessary, for a combined measurement.
