Can inflammatory and replacement resorption occur…
Dental trauma questions test protocol-level decisions — splint type, duration, follow-up timing — where one wrong detail means a wrong answer. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
At 6-month review, a replanted upper central incisor produces a distinctly high-pitched metallic sound on percussion. The tooth has no mobility. Radiographs show absence of periodontal ligament space with root structure being replaced by bone-like density. Can inflammatory and replacement resorption occur simultaneously in the same replanted tooth?
- A. Yes — the IADT notes that these two types of resorption may occur concurrently in a tooth
- B. No — they represent mutually exclusive pathological processes with different aetiologies
- C. Only in open-apex teeth where the immature root is susceptible to both processes at once
- D. Only if the tooth was stored in water, which triggers both inflammatory and replacement events

IADT: 'It is worth noting that the two types of resorption may occur concurrently.' Inflammatory resorption is infection-driven (manageable with endodontics), while replacement resorption reflects non-viable PDL (progressive, irreversible). SOURCE — Fouad AF et al. IADT Avulsion Guidelines, Dent Traumatol 2020;36:331-342, Section 11
