Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of autotransplantation or replantation of extracted teeth combining with reconstruction of alveolar bone defects in use of artificial bone grafting clinically and radiographically. This article presents a more useful and convenient method for repairing tooth and reconstruction of bone defecting with some interesting cases. Eleven patients (seven men and four women) in whom teeth with complete root formation were extracted and autotransplanted, the bone of receiving area was Insufficient. All transplanted teeth were stabilized with orthodontic wire and resin or 4-0 silk sutures; at the same time, artificial bone powder was filled. In 11 cases, the missing teeth were restored by autogenous teeth and the alveolar bone defect was restored by artificial bone, the improvement in the radiographic and clinical parameters strongly suggest that it may be a useful therapy to solve the problem of the missing teeth and alveolar bone insufficiency simultaneously. However, the risk of replacement root resorption remains.

Summary

Introduction

We can recover teeth missed by removable partial denture (RPD), fixed partial denture (FPD), implantation, ATT and so on. On the one hand RPD and FPD would damage our healthy teeth or not very comfortable, on the other hand, ATT or implantation can make alveolar bone lengthened which is beneficial to the normal physiological function of teeth, and beneficial to the beauty. The low cost of ATT and the development of technology in periodontal tissue regeneration lead it to become a potential treatment option to restore the occlusal function of lost tooth, the transplanted tooth can function normally if it success [1] [2] [3]. Study on ATT on adult with bone defect is hardly seen
