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.
