Root formation of an autotransplanted tooth

Abstract

Traumatic injuries with loss of anterior teeth occur more frequently in children. Treatment of the dental trauma is complex and requires a comprehensive and accurate diagnostic and treatment plan. It is also important to consider the biological, functional, esthetic, and economic aspects. The purpose of this article is to show a case report with a successful root formation and periodontal healing after autotransplantation of maxillary second right premolar in place of maxillary right central incisor site. Tooth autotransplantation may be considered as a viable treatment option instead of a conventional prosthetic and implant rehabilitation.

The design and development of surgical templates for premolar transplants in adolescents

“…The socket should be prepared slightly larger than the tooth root and 1–2 mm deeper apically to preserve the PDL and allow space for vascular regeneration (Paulsen et al. 1995, Tsukiboshi 2002, Lon et al. 2009).…”

Successful autotransplantation of a mature mesiodens to replace a traumatized maxillary central incisor

“…, Lon et al . ). Success rates vary because it is influenced by a number of factors such as case selection, age of the patient, developmental stage of the donor tooth, type of tooth transplanted, surgical trauma during extraction of donor tooth, storage after removing the donor tooth, recipient site, surgical technique and skill of the surgeon (Andreasen et al .…”

“…, Lon et al . ). The highest success rate involves teeth with developing roots with open apices and revascularization (Andersson et al .…”

“…Autotransplantation has long-term survival rates varying from 74% to 100% (Tsukiboshi 2002, Kvint et al 2010). Long-term studies of autotransplanted teeth to anterior sites have reported a success rate of 98-99% within 5 years and 87-95% within 10 years, and 79% within 26.4 years (Czochrowska et al 2002, Lon et al 2009). Success rates vary because it is influenced by a number of factors such as case selection, age of the patient, developmental stage of the donor tooth, type of tooth transplanted, surgical trauma during extraction of donor tooth, storage after removing the donor tooth, recipient site, surgical technique and skill of the surgeon (Andreasen et al 1990, Kallu et al 2005, Lon et al 2009.…”

Tooth Autotransplantation; Clinical Concepts

“…[17] There are several reports in which mainly premolars were used as replacements of prematurely lost upper incisors in crowded dentitions. In these cases, autotransplantation produces offer, with the help of restorative dentistry, an aesthetic result, maintaining at the same time the alveolar bone volume/ [18] In cases of congenital absence of permanent teeth, replacement with autotransplanted teeth guarantees that the alveolus will not atrophy, especially when the patient is still at a growing age. Successful tooth transplantation in young individuals also facilitates dentofacial development, mastication and speech, along with maintenance of the attached gingivae, in a natural shape and level .…”
