Tooth autotransplantation is an accepted and predictable procedure for the replacement of unrestorable teeth.
In contrast to dental implants, the transplant adapts to the eruption of adjacent teeth and developmental changes in the oral region and can be orthodontically moved.
Therefore, it is considered the ideal treatment for tooth replacement in growing patients.
What is an Oral Surgery Center? Thinking about the comfort and well-being of patients, here at Smiles Peru dental clinic we have an oral surgery center equipped to perform dental surgeries, with an ergonomic chair design that allows for maximum patient comfort during the surgical intervention.
Furthermore, given the regenerative potential of the periodontal ligament (PDL), the transplant itself stimulates regeneration of the attachment apparatus, leading to re-establishment of a normal alveolar process and preservation of the gingival architecture.
This teenager has the lack of the two lower second premolars. There were presented three different options with different consequences in the future.
► 1st option was keeping the deciduous teeth and maybe in the future to insert implants.
► 2nd option was extraction and mesialization with miniscrews or miniplates.
► 3rd option was an autotransplantation of the upper third molars into lower premolars.
The best results were achieved with transplanted upper third molars.
