Dental autotransplant: case report

The autogenous transplantation or dental autotransplantation is defined as the replacement of an absent or impaired tooth by another transplanted one, usually the third molar. The tooth is transplanted to a prepared or existing tooth socket occupied by the lost tooth, in a same person. This technique is considered a viable method due to its high success rate when properly indicated combined with a relatively low cost. Objective and case report: To report a clinical case study conducted in the Integrated Clinics of the Catholic University of Brasilia in a young melanoderm male patient, 13 years-old, who underwent late tooth transplantation technique, i.e., in two steps: the right upper third molar was transplanted to the socket of the right lower first molar. The case described showed incomplete root formation and radiographic following-up for eight consecutive months. Conclusion: This type of oral rehabilitation contributed to bone formation stimulation at the transplanted site, the maintenance of the masticatory function and the financial costs reduction for the patient, representing a further possible therapy in the dentist’s armamentarium.
