Intentional Reimplantation Combining the Benefits of Leukocyte- and Platelet-rich Fibrin and Biodentine™ for the Treatment of a Large Periapical Cyst: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND

This case report examines the efficacy of intentional reimplantation (IR) in endodontics and explores the increased interest driven by recent advancements in regenerative techniques.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 14-year-old male patient reported pain in the lower left back tooth (tooth #36). The radiographic assessment revealed a 4 mm × 4 mm periapical cyst. The patient chose an innovative approach, undergoing root canal therapy, atraumatic extraction, and immediate replantation using leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF). A year later, radiographs confirmed cyst resolution with no new dental concerns.

CONCLUSION

IR with L-PRF and Biodentine™ was successful in the treatment of periapical cysts, offering a less invasive but effective alternative for complex endodontic cases.
