Abstract

Background: Autotransplantation of tooth is a considerable option for treating missing teeth when a donor tooth is available. Objectives: To report the success rate in clinical aspect for the autotransplantation to fresh socket using digital technology to plan treatment and simplify surgical procedure. . Materials and methods: The study enrolled 32 patients whose unrestorable teeth (13 males and 19 females) and were treated by autotransplantation. Transplanted teeth were stabilized with wire splint to adjacent teeth for 2 weeks. Postoperatively, the transplanted teeth were examined clinically and radiographically. Results: The extra-alveolar time of donor teeth were less than 1 minute. The outcome met the success criteria in 28 of the 32 cases, for 87.5% success rate. Conclusions: The digital approach helps surgeon reduce the extra-alveolar time of donor tooth, which increases the success rate of autotransplantation.
