Objectives: Shortening the root of a mouse molar prior to tooth replantation results in early revascularization in the pulp cavity and activation of the dental pulp quiescent stem cells. This study aimed to validate the effects of pulp chamber floor perforation on pulpal healing after tooth replantation as a strategy to promote early revascularization into the pulp.
Methods: The maxillary first molars of three-week-old Crlj:CD1 mice were extracted and repositioned into the original socket: the left teeth were immediately replanted (control group: CG), whereas the floor of the pulp chamber of the right teeth was perforated with a tungsten carbide bur before tooth replantation (experimental group: EG). The samples were collected from three days to eight weeks postoperatively. In addition to the TUNEL assay, immunohistochemistry for Nestin, CK14, and Ki-67 was conducted.
Results: In the EG, early revascularization occurred with a decrease in apoptosis and an increase in cell proliferation, facilitating pulpal healing, compared with the CG. The rate of Nestin-positive perimeter in the distal root significantly increased on days 5 and 14 and the amount of Nestin-positive hard tissue increased on day 14. However, on day 7, the number of epithelial cell rests of Malassez in the EG significantly decreased, making the EG susceptible to ankylosis at the floor.
Conclusions: Intentionally perforating the floor of the pulp chamber provides a route for early revascularization, resulting in better pulpal healing after tooth replantation.

Dental avulsion, the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket, presents a significant challenge in dental practice due to its potential impact on aesthetics, function, and child well-being. This case presentation, reports the management of a traumatic dental avulsion in a 11-year-old male patient, detailing the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, treatment protocol, and follow-up outcomes. The case underscores the importance of prompt intervention for the avulsed tooth, and timely replantation to optimize treatment outcomes.

Intentional reimplantation has long been supported by many clinicians as a last resort before tooth extraction. With the accumulation of data and the development of techniques, the survival rate of reimplantation has increased. However, although there have been many reports and studies on replantation for common causes such as root fracture, root resorption, inadequate root canal treatment, perforation, and apical periodontitis, the method of replantation in unusual cases is not yet clear, and many cases result in tooth extraction.
