Dental autotransplant: case report
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2012, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The autogenous transplantation or dental autotransplantation is defined as the replacement of an absent or impaired tooth by another transplanted one, usually the third molar. The tooth is transplanted to a prepared or existing tooth socket occupied by the lost tooth, in a same person. This technique is considered a viable method due to its high success rate when properly indicated combined with a relatively low cost. Objective and case report: To report a clinical case study conducted in the Integrated Clinics of the Catholic University of Brasilia in a young melanoderm male patient, 13 years-old, who underwent late tooth transplantation technique, i.e., in two steps: the right upper third molar was transplanted to the socket of the right lower first molar. The case described showed incomplete root formation and radiographic following-up for eight consecutive months. Conclusion: This type of oral rehabilitation contributed to bone formation stimulation at the transplanted site, the maintenance of the masticatory function and the financial costs reduction for the patient, representing a further possible therapy in the dentist’s armamentarium.
