A New Approach for Analyzing Root Development in Autogenous Tooth Transplants Using Computed Tomography.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate root development in autotransplanted teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Methods: Twelve premolars with incomplete root formation, which were selected to replace prematurely lost upper central incisors, were analyzed by CBCT on two different occasions. The first CBCT examination (T1) was conducted before tooth autotransplantation.

Evaluation of Bone Growth around Autotransplanted Teeth Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomographic Images.

Introduction: The aim of this observational study was to evaluate bone growth at the recipient site of autotransplanted teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and to compare it to the control tooth.

Methods: Bone growth was measured on CBCT images obtained from the anterior region of the maxilla, which received a single transplant of immature premolars due to early loss of the central incisor. The results were compared to the bone growth of contralateral central incisor that served as control.

Success, Survival Rate, and Soft Tissue Esthetic of Tooth Autotransplantation.

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the success, survival rate, and soft tissue esthetic of autotransplanted teeth.

Methods: This study included patients with at least 1 tooth autotransplanted to the maxilla during childhood or adolescence. The autotransplantation technique included the removal of an immature tooth from a donor site and its placement in the maxilla as a replacement for a missing or extremely compromised tooth.

Premolar transplantation to replace a missing central incisor.

During childhood, the anterior maxilla is susceptible to injury, and the loss of incisors is one of the most serious injuries. In many cases, autotransplantation is the best alternative for children who lose an incisor during the growth phase. This case report describes the treatment of a boy who had a traumatic injury when he was 8 years old that resulted in avulsion of the maxillary right central incisor.

Autogenous premolar transplantation into artificial socket in maxillary lateral incisor site.

Introduction: Autogenous transplantation of a natural tooth to another site has significant advantages over dental implants, particularly in cases of agenesis, accidental tooth loss, or poor prognosis for the maintenance of tooth function.

Methods: This report describes a case of autogenous premolar transplantation into an artificial socket in the site of a missing maxillary lateral incisor in a 13-year-old girl. Clinical examination and radiography revealed tooth agenesis (#4, #10, #13, and #20) and microdontia (#7).
