Abstract
In this article, we present a case report on the autotransplantation of an upper left canine (UL3) into the site of a retained upper left deciduous canine (ULC) in a 36-year-old male using a digital guided approach. The procedure involved meticulous pre-operative planning, careful extraction of the ULC and UL3, and the use of a stereolithic tooth and a surgical guide created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. Follow-up included endodontic treatment post-transplantation. The successful outcome of this case underscores the importance of how imaging techniques can help to provide successful and predictable autotransplantation results. This case report highlights the successful integration of a transplanted tooth and the unique approach to the techniques used. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Autotransplantation of an impacted tooth can be considerd as a treatment option for the adult patient with a single tooth edentulous space or retained deciduous tooth.
