“…In other studies, short-term flexible splinting appears to be more favorable, stabilizing the donor tooth with sutures for a period of 7–10 days [ 40 , 97 ]. Additionally, no stabilization has been used, with retention provided by the friction with adjacent teeth and with the alveolus prepared in such a manner to ensure maximum contact with the donor tooth [ 11 , 15 ].…”

Autotransplantation of the Third Molar: A Therapeutic Alternative to the Rehabilitation of a Missing Tooth: A Scoping Review

Introduction: Tooth autotransplantation is the repositioning of an erupted, partially erupted, or non-erupted autologous tooth from one site to another within the same individual. Several factors influence the success rate of the autotransplant, such as the stage of root development, the morphology of the tooth, the surgical procedure selected, the extraoral time, the shape of the recipient socket, the vascularity of the recipient bed, and the vitality of the cells of the periodontal ligament. The aim of this scoping review was to provide the most up-to-date information and data on the clinical principles of the third-molar autograft and thus provide clinical considerations for its success. Materials and methods: This review was conducted based on PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). The research was conducted by searching for keywords in three databases—PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar—by two independent reviewers following the PRISMA protocol, from which 599 records were identified. Conclusions: Third-molar autotransplantation is a valid solution to replace missing teeth. The key to the success of this technique is the surgical procedure, which must be as atraumatic as possible to preserve the periodontal ligament of the tooth to be transplanted. The success rate is also linked to the stage of development of the root, with a worse prognosis in the case of a complete root.

“…In a review of observational studies conducted on autotransplantation of third molars, Armstrong et al identified the favorable prognostic factors that are related to the patient (patient’s health conditions and motivations), the tooth (absence of root anomalies), and surgical techniques (the most atraumatic possible) [ 15 ].…”

Introdução: O transplante dentário consiste numa técnica de transferência do dente de um alvéolo ao outro na maxila ou mandíbula, sendo uma boa opção terapêutica para pessoas que perderam o dente de forma precoce. Para a prática clínica o transplante de interesse é o autógeno, ou seja, um dente do próprio indivíduo. Para isso existem alguns critérios, como o bom estado de saúde geral e local do paciente, o sítio receptor sem danos na estrutura e compatível com o dente doador e deve ter boa parte da raiz desenvolvida. Objetivo: relatar um caso clínico de transplante dentário autógeno como opção de reabilitação oral natural e mais econômica. Relato de caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, 20 anos, compareceu a clínica para exodontia do dente 47, com queixa de incomodo e realização prévia de tratamento endodôntico. Ao exame clínico e de imagem foi possível constatar que o elemento dentário 47 estava impossibilitado de restaurar e que o 48 era compatível com tamanho do 47. Em seguida foi realizado exodontia dos dois elementos e exercido o transplante do elemento 48 no sítio do elemento 47, previamente preparado. Após 12 meses de acompanhamento foi possível observar nova formação de ligamento periodontal. Conclusão: Com isso, foi observado que o transplante dentário se torna uma opção terapêutica viável devido ao seu baixo custo e o dente pertencer ao próprio indivíduo.

“…Dental autotransplantation (DAT) is a surgical procedure in which a donor's tooth is extracted and transplanted from one site to another in the same person [ 1 ]. In essence, it is a relatively old dental procedure that replaces a lost tooth with a natural one, rather than a prosthesis [ 1 ]. Although the concept of this treatment is not inherently novel, it has received considerable attention from researchers worldwide in recent years [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Dental autotransplantation (DAT) is a surgical procedure in which a donor's tooth is extracted and transplanted from one site to another in the same person. This treatment modality has received considerable attention worldwide in recent years due to its potential advantages over implants. A survey-based study evaluated dentists’ attitudes towards and practice of DAT in Damascus, Syria from September to December 2020. We asked respondents whether they considered this treatment modality when developing treatment plans and whether they view it viable. Only 73 of the 258 respondents (28.3%) stated that they considered DAT as a treatment option. Additionally, 153 respondents (59.3%) either did not view DAT as a viable treatment option or did not know whether it is viable. DAT was underestimated and underused among Syrian dentists. Given this gap in real-world knowledge and practice, academic dental institutions in Syria should place a greater focus on emerging evidence-based knowledge and protocols regarding this treatment option.
