Abstract of the lecture:

Traumatic loss of upper incisors in growing patients is the most important indication for the autotransplanation of teeth. Successful transplants not only provide a life-long tooth replacement but can also preserve the alveolar bone and promote bone regeneration in traumatised alveolar processes. However, tooth transplantation is a technique sensitive procedure and requires careful diagnosis and case selection, a good understanding of relevant tooth transplantation biological principles and careful execution of the optimal surgical and follow-up protocols. Developing premolars were documented to be the optimal donors with excellent long-term survival and success. However, if transplanted to anterior maxilla, their morphology clearly differs from the incisor’s morphology and subsequent reshaping using composite resins or porcelain veneers is needed for a satisfactory smile esthetics. In this case presentation the benefits and difficulties of this technique when applied to treat the traumatic loss of maxillary incisors will be discussed and summarized.
