\"\"In this episode of\u00a0<\/span>Endo Voices<\/span><\/i>, host Dr. Marcus D. Johnson sits down with renowned endodontist and educator Dr. Samuel Kratchman for a dynamic conversation on the evolving landscape of endodontic microsurgery and the relentless pursuit of saving natural teeth. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Dr. Kratchman reflects on his journey in endodontics\u2014from early mentorship and academic leadership at the University of Pennsylvania to becoming a global voice in microsurgical innovation. Together, they explore how advancements in technology, biomaterials, and surgical techniques are reshaping\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0possible in modern endodontic care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The discussion dives into emerging regenerative concepts, including platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), biologically driven grafting strategies, and the growing role of intentional replantation as a powerful tool in the endodontist\u2019s armamentarium. With practical insights, clinical pearls, and candid reflections, Dr. Kratchman shares how thoughtful innovation and evidence-based practice can expand treatment possibilities while keeping the\u00a0ultimate goal\u00a0in focus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","feature":[],"podcast-topic":[274,280,284],"class_list":["post-30525","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","podcast-topic-future-trends","podcast-topic-problem-solving-in-endodontics","podcast-topic-saving-teeth"],"yoast_head":"\nSaving Teeth at the Edge: Intentional Replantation, PRF, and the Future of Endodontic Microsurgery \u2013 Ep. 83 - American Association of Endodontists<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/podcast\/saving-teeth-at-the-edge-intentional-replantation-prf-and-the-future-of-endodontic-microsurgery-ep-83\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Saving Teeth at the Edge: Intentional Replantation, PRF, and the Future of Endodontic Microsurgery \u2013 Ep. 83 - American Association of Endodontists\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this episode of\u00a0Endo Voices, host Dr. Marcus D.
