Autotransplantation of teeth has established itself as a proven therapeutic option if conducted with a multidisciplinary team.
Recent studies have reported a survival rate as high as 99% for immature teeth.
Access to CBCT imaging and 3D printing now allow the use of teeth replicas which can be used to prepare the recipient site prior to transplantation. This digital workflow dramatically reduces extraoral time to preserve the PDL.
These new advances now makes it simpler for pediatric dentists to get involved in the treatment planning, surgery and follow-up of autotransplanted teeth.
Learning Objectives:
Identify cases when autotransplantation of teeth should be presented as a viable treatment option
Become familiar with the digital workflow leveraging CBCT and 3D printing to assist in planning the autotransplantation of teeth
Develop relationships with orthodontists, endodontists and other specialists to elaborate multidisciplinary treatment plans for the autotransplantation of teeth
