ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for extraction and re-implantation of a natural tooth, such tooth being cleaned and repaired while extracted. The crown of the repaired tooth is mechanically masked and the tooth is then mounted in a partitioned vacuum cavity wherein gradual application of vacuum is used to degas and dehydrate the tooth root. Following degassing and dehydration of the tooth root a mass of titanium is heated in the cavity partition, by way of an electron beam source, the energy output of the beam source being thereafter ramped up to vaporize the mass. The partition in the cavity is then opened to expose the root to the titanium vapor after which the tooth may be reinserted into the original void.
