the unusually long period of time that the tooth survived might be attributed to a different approach to the replantation technique , such as occlusion adjustment prior to replantation , preoperative reduction of oral cavity bacteria and of the harmful aerosols commonly found in the dental operatory , placement of a noneugenol periodontal packing under the acrylic splint to prevent residual liquid monomer from seeping into the periodontal space , use of the patient 's own blood and no other material to moisten the root while it was out of the socket , a short extraoral period , loose splinting , complete isolation of the operative site in the oral cavity , and completion of periodontal therapy before intentional replantation .
