“…In the present case, endodontic treatment was started 3 weeks after transplantation surgery, mainly due to difficulty with revascularization and to avoid the development of infection in the root canal system, as reported by several authors (1,2,4,5). The use of calcium hydroxide-based medications for a period of two months is also a suitable option, especially at alkaline pH, to induce mineralization, minimize bacterial activity (1,4,8), and prevent possible inflammatory resorption of dentin.…”

“…Autogenous tooth transplantation is a practicable treatment for tooth loss, being technically easy to perform, with a low incidence of associated morbidity and low cost in comparison with prosthetic rehabilitation and use of dental implants (4). The use of autogenous tooth transplantation for patients with agenesis has been reported as a conservative approach for improvement of esthetics and masticatory function (1,6).…”

“…Therefore, we can assume that the thermoplastic retainer was effective for the protection transplanted teeth against early occlusal and lateral forces, especially those transplants with poor stability. The available literature describes many different stabilization techniques for transplanted teeth, including fixation with orthodontic brackets, ligature wires, acidetch composites, and sutures (1,5,6). The stabilization period for transplanted teeth varies between one and 4-6 weeks (6).…”

“…Autogenous tooth transplantation for replacement of lost molars is now an accepted and reliable alternative to conventional prosthetic therapy or implants (1,2). It is an effective modality for replacing missing teeth when a donor tooth is available and is generally advised in cases of teeth lost prematurely due to trauma, caries, periodontal disease, dental agenesis or nontreatable root fractures (3).…”

Objective: Different fixation techniques have been used for stabilization of autotransplanted teeth. Because rigid or extended fixation periods can cause complications such as ankylosis and disturbances of pulpal revascularization, our aim was to evaluate an alternative technique, a removable splint, for improving the success rate of autotransplanted molar teeth. Study Design: In 44 patients, (20 male and 24 female patients), 45 transplanted teeth were analyzed. These cases were followed for 31 to 47 months after operation. Transplanted teeth were evaluated after use of a thermoplastic retainer for 1 month, in terms of success rate and dissatisfaction with this apparatus. The primary stability, ankylosis, and root resorption were also analyzed. Results: To date, 1 transplant was extracted after 6 months due to unpreventable periapical root inflammation, and 2 transplants were extracted after one year due to external root resorption. Although 2 ankylosed transplants were still functional after an average follow-up period of three years, with no dissatisfaction by the patients, these cases were treated as failures because of the probable risk for external root resorption. The remaining 40 (88.8 % success rate) transplants remained asymptomatic and functioning for a mean follow-up period of 37 months. In the assessment of dissatisfaction with the thermoplastic retainer, 36 (81.8 %) patients had no or little dissatisfaction, 4 (9 %) patients had very appreciable or excessive dissatisfaction, and 4 (9 %) patients had moderate dissatisfaction. Conclusions: A thermoplastic retainer for use after autotransplantation of third molar teeth is a reasonable and useful method and a good alternative to conventional rigid or semi-rigid splints. This technique was especially useful in autotransplanted teeth that had poor stability, i.e., in cases in which it is conventionally advised to use long-term rigid or semi-rigid splints.

Autogenic tooth transplantation is now a common procedure in dentistry for replacing a missing tooth. However, there are many difficulties in clinical application of allogenic tooth transplantation because of immunological rejection. This study aims to clarify pulpal regeneration following allogenic tooth transplantation into the mouse maxilla by immunohistochemistry for 5-bromo-2 0 -deoxyuridine (BrdU) and nestin, and by the histochemistry for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). The upper right first molar (M1) of 2-week-old mice was extracted and allografted in the original socket in both the littermate and non-littermate after the extraction of M1. Tooth transplantation weakened the nestin-positive reactions in the pulp tissue that had shown immunoreactivity for nestin before operation. On postoperative Days 5-7, tertiary dentin formation commenced next to the preexisting dentin where nestin-positive odontoblast-like cells were arranged in all cases of the littermate group until Day 14, except for one case showing immunological rejection in the pulp chamber. In the non-littermate group, bone-like tissue formation occurred in the pulp chamber in addition to tertiary dentin formation until Day 14. The rate of tertiary dentin was 38%, and the rate of the mixed form of dentin and bone-like tissue formation was 23% (the remainder was immunological rejection). Interestingly, the periodontal tissue recovered even in the case of immunological rejection in which the pulp chamber was replaced by sparse connective tissue. These results suggest that the selection of littermate or non-littermate is decisive for the survival of odontoblast-lineage cells and that the immunological rejection does not influence the periodontal regeneration.
