Abstract
Twenty five patients underwent auto-transplantation surgery. Seventeen were females and 8 males. Preoperative PA films were taken for each case for localization of impacted canine. Eleven were palatal impacted and 14 were labially impacted. The technique used is shifting technique and OPG. The status of surrounding tissues was evaluated radiographically. No case was associated with any pathology and complete mature root formation. The average age of patients ranged from 20 to 35 years. In most of them, there was a retained deciduas teeth.
Highlights
The aim of study was to evaluate the prognosis of auto-transplantation of impacted maxillary canine teeth with fully developed roots followed by endodontic treatment
The indications for auto transplantation are narrow, careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique can lead to exceptional esthetic and functional results
One advantage of this procedure is that placement of an implantsupported prosthesis or other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is not needed
Summary
The aim of study was to evaluate the prognosis of auto-transplantation of impacted maxillary canine teeth with fully developed roots followed by endodontic treatment. The indications for auto transplantation are narrow, careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique can lead to exceptional esthetic and functional results. One advantage of this procedure is that placement of an implantsupported prosthesis or other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is not needed. The science of autotransplantation has progressed, as evidenced by the high success rates reported in studies over the past decade[1,4,5,6,7,8] These studies demonstrate that auto-transplantation is a viable option for tooth replacement for carefully selected patients Successful transplantation depends on specific requirements of the patient, the donor tooth and the recipient site
