Can a Wisdom tooth replace a decayed molar…?
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Auto transplantation provides the possibility to function like a natural tooth rather than prosthesis or an osseointegrated implant to replace a missing tooth. The indications for auto transplantation are wide, but careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique is a prerequisite for a good functional and esthetic outcome. This Case report presents successful auto transplantation of a mature maxillary right third molar (18) to replace a decayed maxillary right second molar (17). After extraction of maxillary second and third molars, the third molar was re implanted into the extraction socket of second molar. Root canal therapy was done for the transplanted molar after 4 weeks. Patient was reviewed after 4 weeks, 6 months and one year clinically and radiographically which revealed satisfactory outcome with no signs or symptoms suggestive of pathology.
