Feasibility of using acetazolamide in the treatment of tooth resorption

Objective: Since acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, it presents relevant aspects with regard to the treatment of late reimplanted teeth, and therefore, this is the aim of the present literature review. Data Sources: The databases used were Pubmed and Bireme. Selection of works: was performed using the keywords Tooth reimplantation, Dental ankylosis, Acetazolamide and Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.Conclusions: In spite of contemporary guidelines for the treatment of late reimplantation, there is still avery high loss of avulsed teeth due to resorption, particularly by replacement resorption, so that the searchfor new substances or means of treatment is of the utmost importance.
