Tooth replanting method heats up dental cures at Chicago meet
Chicago dentists described a rapid tooth replant process to reinsert extracted teeth into sockets within minutes. Dr Larry J Hoffman said replanted teeth can regrow, anchor within a month, and serve as a bridge base, costing about a third of root canal therapy. The technique, used on over 300 patients, avoids full dental surgery and is fastest when performed quickly.

No smoking advised for week after dental surgery
AP reports at the American Dental Association meeting that smoking delays gum healing after tooth extractions. Dr James A Jackson of New York City cites a case of an unhealed socket for four weeks despite antibiotics, noting healing improved after one week of abstinence and that risks rise with more cigarettes.
