RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Autotransplantation of teeth as an alternative to dental implantation JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e234889 DO 10.1136/bcr-2020-234889 VO 13 IS 6 A1 Igor Ashurko A1 Iuliia Vlasova A1 Polina Yaremchuk A1 Olga Bystrova YR 2020 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/13/6/e234889.abstract AB Autotransplantation of teeth is a considerable option for tooth replacement in adults who are to undergo orthodontic treatment. Being compared with dental implantation, this procedure is more preferable as a grafted tooth functions as a normal one. In this case report, we describe successful autotransplantation of the third molar with complete root formation. To provide better adaptation of the donor tooth, we used its preoperatively printed replica. The donor tooth was immediately placed to the recipient site and splinted for 28 days. Endodontic treatment was initiated 2 weeks after transplantation. Clinical and radiographic findings at 6 and 12 months of follow-up are compared with the results described in the literature.
