Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Autogenous transplantation is an economical as well as the most sorted option for the treatment of badly destroyed teeth when a suitable donor tooth is available. This paper presents successful auto transplantation of a mature mandibular left third molar (38) without anatomical variance is used to replace a grossly decayed mandibular left second molar (37). The mandibular second molar was not restorable due to caries destruction of coronal tooth structure and a failed root canal treatment. After extraction of mandibular second molar, root canal therapy was done for the third molar extraorally, and the tooth was reimplanted into the recipient site. After 2 years, clinical and radiographic examination revealed satisfactory outcome with no signs or symptoms suggestive of pathology. In selected cases, autogenous tooth transplantation, even after complete root formation of the donor tooth, may be considered as a practical treatment alternative to conventional prosthetic rehabilitation or implant treatment.
