Abstract
This case report describes the orthodontic treatment with autotransplantation and bone grafting of the lost maxillary alveolus for a patient injured in a traffic accident. This patient had a severe skeletal Class III relationship because of the loss of six maxillary teeth and the adjacent alveolar bone. Autotransplantation of mandibular first premolars and bone grafting of the deficient alveolus were carried out to improve the occlusion and the profile. After orthodontic treatment, the transplanted premolars were reshaped and restored with composite as central incisors. Good occlusion and cosmetic improvement were obtained. Orthodontic treatment is useful for occlusal reconstruction after a traumatic injury, and autotransplantation is an effective option for these patients.
