For fully developed permanent teeth (i.e. the root is completely formed), the splint is usually left in place for approximately a week to ten days. After about a week, the tooth’s root canal is accessed, and medical grade calcium hydroxide is placed inside the tooth to prevent inflammatory root resorption from occurring. Endodontic (root canal) treatment of the tooth outside the mouth is generally discouraged, because it prolongs the out-of-mouth time, and risks manually damaging periodontal ligament tissue, the survival of which is key.
