atraumatic extraction for intentional replantation

d)

repositioning extrusive dental injury

5.

Persistence of endodontic infection after vigorous disinfection using strict aseptic technique can be due to

a)

primary intra-radicular infection

b)

secondary intra-radicular infection

c)

dependent extra-radicular infection

d)

independent extra-radicular infection

6.

Surgical root canal re-treatment

d)

Intentional replantation

7.

The suitable treatment for a mechanical exposure of pulp with clean periphery is

activation of odontoclast cells
