Does Root Development Status Affect the Outcome of Tooth Autotransplantation? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Tooth autotransplantation is defined as the surgical repositioning of an autogenous tooth in another surgical site within the same individual. The aim of this research was to analyze the outcome of tooth transplantation using immature donor teeth compared with closed apex teeth and to compare differences between donor tooth positions on the arch. Electronic and manual literature searches were performed in different databases, including the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE), EMBASE (OVID), Cochrane Central (CENTRAL), and the digital library of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC University) from 1978 to March 2021.

Accuracy of static fully guided implant placement in the posterior area of partially edentulous jaws: a cohort prospective study.

Objective: A cohort prospective study was conducted to assess the three-dimensional positioning accuracy of the implant between pre-surgical and the final implant position using a static fully guided approach in the posterior area of the jaws.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 implants (30 patients) were digitally analyzed after superimposing the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files obtained from the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) pre- and post-implant placement. The software calculations included deviations at the implant shoulder and at the implant apex, global deviation (3D offset), and angle deviation.

Mid-term outcomes and periodontal prognostic factors of autotransplanted third molars: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Tooth autotransplantation is a valid method for replacing non-restorable teeth. This study aimed to assess mid-term survival and success of autotransplanted third molars and the clinical periodontal parameters and factors predicting successful periodontal attachment apparatus regeneration.

Methods: In total, 36 patients who had undergone extraction and subsequent autotransplantation of 36 third molars using virtual planning and computer-aided rapid prototyping models by an oral surgeon and endodontist were eligible.

Evaluation of Peri-implant Tissue Stability and Patient Satisfaction After Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Area: A 3-Year Follow-up of an Ongoing Prospective Study.

Horizontal and vertical reduction of the ridge has to be expected after tooth extraction. Immediate implant placement and provisionalization is a viable treatment option that can help to minimize those changes. Additionally, it can better meet a patient's expectations about the treatment, reducing time and invasiveness.

Fully Guided Tooth Autotransplantation Using a Multidrilling Axis Surgical Stent: Proof of Concept.

Introduction: Digital technology has been progressively introduced into tooth autotransplantation to enhance both treatment planning and surgery. The aim of this report was to describe a novel protocol for fully guided tooth autotransplantation.

Methods: This report includes 10 consecutive patients treated with a complete virtual planning and a multidrilling axis surgical guide in combination with the computer-aided rapid prototyping model.
