Abstract
Background Autogenous tooth transplantation is a reliable method for repairing missing teeth. Although it recently became a recognized and feasible treatment method in dentistry, the long-term efficacy of root canal therapy (RCT) has not been well confirmed. This study is aimed at determining whether RCT has a good effect on the success rate of teeth with complete roots in autogenous tooth transplantation. Materials and Methods Data were collected from the Korea University Guro Hospital. Data of patients who underwent autogenous tooth transplantation within 9 years were collected. We selected 29 teeth with complete roots as the research subjects in our study. None of the patients had any systemic diseases. All cases in this study were obtained with patient permission. Results According to the tooth vitality test, the autogenous teeth tested negative in dental pulp test and function. Nine of the 29 teeth with autogenous tooth transplantation were treated with RCT and survived throughout the observation period. However, 20 autogenous teeth were not treated with RCT, and eight of them did not survive. All statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 20.0. The null hypothesis was rejected (p < 0.05). Conclusion For complete root teeth, the success rate after autogenous tooth transplantation after RCT is higher than that of teeth not treated with RCT.
Highlights
Loss of dentition is considered one of the most common clinical problems for medical staff
Autogenous tooth transplantation refers to the surgical transplantation of nonfunctional teeth to other parts of the same oral cavity such that it can grow and survive in the other alveolar socket and replace the physiological function of the missing tooth
When autogenous tooth transplantation was developed in the early 1950s, the success rate was only approximately 50% due to technical limitations
Summary
Loss of dentition is considered one of the most common clinical problems for medical staff. Autogenous tooth transplantation is a treatment method for embedded or heterotopic eruption, early tooth loss, and congenital teeth. As a treatment method for dentition defects, autogenous tooth transplantation replaces the missing teeth with the nonfunctional third molars, retaining the intact periodontal ligament (PDL), possessing physiological mobility and good tissue adaptability and can bear and adjust greater bite force. The donor tooth is immediately placed in Scanning saline, and the donor tooth is placed in the socket of the missing tooth Considering surgical complications such as root resorption and ankylosis, autogenous tooth transplantation has certain limitations [14, 15]. This study is aimed at determining whether RCT has a good effect on the success rate of teeth with complete roots in autogenous tooth transplantation.
