Tooth Autotransplantation; Clinical Concepts

Abstract

Dental auto transplantation is defined as the movement of one tooth or dental germ from one position to another, within the same person. Tooth reimplantation and transplantation have a long and difficult history, since both procedures have been carried out for centuries, but failed due to healing complications. This article provides an overview concept of auto transplantation and considerations for clinical success.

Esthetic Management of Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors With Single Tooth Implants: A Case Report

“…If the space is to be opened orthodontically for ideal prosthesis, the canines will need to be moved distally, which may result in development of the alveolar ridge in the canine region [2,3,5]. In cases where the occlusion and esthetics of the canine in the lateral position are acceptable, closure of the lateral space by the mesially positioned canine may be the simplest alternative treatment option.However, in all the above congenital missing cases we considered space opening followed by fixed prosthesis would be more acceptable on aesthetic point of view [19,20,21].…”

“…With some systems, there is no need for preparation due to a cervical marginal collar that can be captured utilizing a snap-in impression transfer. [16,17,18,19,20] Classically, congenitally missing lateral incisors can be restored in three ways. [5] A camouflage treatment modality can be performed by mesialization of the canine into the lateral incisor space and performing conservative reshaping of the canine to mimic the incisor.…”

Dental Avulsion- Immediate Replantation: 8- Year Follow UP Case

“…[33] A multidisciplinary tooth trauma approach is indispensable because many patients also have other dental treatment needs, such as in malocclusion cases when orthodontic intervention is needed. Every orthodontic treatment is a resorption risk factor, as an apical inflammation may develop due to the pressure applied to the root during movement, producing ischemic necrosis of the periodontal ligament; [1][2][3][4][5]34,35,36 ] in this case study, the patient had maxillary atresia. Installation of an upper and lower expansion was chosen because of the favorable growth phase it was in; also, it avoided pressure on the traumatized tooth.…”

“…[1,2] The success of replantation depends on a number of factors that may contribute to accelerate or minimize the occurrence of root resorption or ankylosis, among which is the type and characteristics of the medium used for temporary storage during the time elapsed between avulsion and replantation. [1][2][3][4][5] The first reported cases of knocked-out teeth being replanted was by Pare' in 1593. In 1706, Pierre Fauchard also reported replanting knocked out teeth.…”

“…In this study, milk was only able to maintain vitality for two hours. [16] Tooth avulsion is characterized as total displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket with damage to the periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone, as well as gingival and pulpal tissues [2,3]. Its prevalence in permanent dentition is about 1% to 16% of traumatic injuries [4,5].…”
