reimplanting

Returning to socket

Reimplanting is putting something back where it was previously implanted.

In medicine, surgeons may reimplant a severed finger or tooth: Doctors successfully reimplanted his thumb after the accident.

In dentistry, a knocked-out tooth can sometimes be reimplanted if treated quickly.

The term also applies to reinserting medical devices like pacemakers or replacing embryos during fertility treatments.
