Revascularization of the Periodontium After Tooth Grafting in Monkeys

In replanted and homo transplanted teeth a vascular network developed in the blood clot between the two parts of the torn periodontium, which allowed the grafted ligament to regain its vascularity. When dentoalveolar ankylosis developed, the periodontal vasculature was split into a number of vascular clusters. In homotransplants, a definite cellular immunologic response by the host was absent. An acrylic radicular obturator was used.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/67229/2/10.1177_00220345710500025101.pd

Effects of Acrylic Restorations on the Periodontium of Monkeys

Replanted teeth that had an acrylic restoration in the middle third of their roots were studied from three days to six months after grafting. The study revealed that the acrylic obturator elicited epithelial proliferation, fibrous encapsulation, moderate chronic inflammation, and adjacent alveolar bone loss.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68162/2/10.1177_00220345720510052201.pd
