“…Third molar autotransplantation has also been considered a promising treatment for OAF, which has many advantages, some of them being immediate restoring of a missed tooth, low cost, and possibility of orthodontic treatment. However, there is very scarce data of clinical performance in immediate postextraction oroantral communication closure and no data for chronic OAF closure [13]. So, we decided against this treatment in our case.…”

Oroantral fistula (OAF) often develops after extraction of posterior maxillary teeth and requires surgical closure. If it persists, OAF may result in maxillary sinusitis. This paper reports a case of an oroantral fistula, associated with chronic maxillary sinusitis. A 46-year-old female patient presented with a history of traumatic tooth extraction, which led to OAF formation. Three unsuccessful attempts were made to close it elsewhere. With one operation, we performed Caldwell-Luc surgery and closed OAF with a collagen membrane and plug and a buccal flap. The patient was assessed at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month and 8-year follow-up visits, with no signs of maxillary sinusitis or OAF recurrence being found with the efficient amount of bone and opportunity for further dental rehabilitation like sinus lifting and dental implantation. We believe that this approach may be a viable option in similar cases.

“…An unusual indication of transplantation of teeth is the use of transplanted tooth in the management of oroantral communication. Many case reports showed successful closure of oroantral communication with immediate implementation of autogenous third molar transplantation into the site of oroantral opening [ 37 , 38 ]. Transplantation of third molars with completed root formation and closed apices was also reported to be successful and promising in the management of oroantral communications [ 39 ].…”

Dental implants are one of the best valid tooth replacement options, though these are not always appropriate in growing young patients. Tooth autotransplantation can be indicated then. However, this is not the only scenario where dental transplantation can be indicated. This comprehensive literature review discusses a wide range of unusual indications of dental transplantation as reported throughout the medical literature. Surprisingly, these indications include management of some developmental dental anomalies, hypodontia, oroantral communications, alveolar clefts, deficient alveolar ridges, ectopic teeth, and maxillofacial injuries. Limited high-quality evidence in this field regarding most of these unusual indications warrants further research of high-quality design.

“…A postoperative radiography examination and pulp sensitivity test were performed [24], though pulp healing was not noted [25,32,33], partly because the root development status of the tooth was stage 7 according to the Moorrees classification. Since root resorption occurs within 14 days after surgery when the need for blood revascularization is not expected [34,35], root canal therapy was performed two weeks later [8,16].…”

“…Furthermore, as compared to a partial denture, which requires a removal method, auto transplantation is a fixed method. Thus, chewing efficiency is better with auto transplantation, while it is also less expensive as compared to implants [2,3,7] Auto transplantation is considered to be a superior method for restoring missing teeth because of proprioception with the periodontal membrane [12], with other advantages known as well, including cost-effectiveness, as noted above, preservation of proprioception, possibility of a postoperative orthodontic option [14], protection of adjacent teeth, a natural prosthetic rise form from the margin, ability to be used in growing children [1,15], aesthetics [10], improvements of mastication and pronunciation [1], closure of a maxillary sinus fistula [16], maintenance of the natural shapes of the attached gingiva and interdental papillae [12], and formation of new alveolar bone [5,7,8,13].…”

Auto transplantation is a fast and economical option when a suitable donor tooth is available for replacement of a tooth considered impossible to treat. The purpose of this case report is to describe methods used for autotransplantation and its advantages for cases with a missing bilateral mandibular firstmolar, as compared with a dental implant, removable partial denture, and other methods of prosthesis. In the present patient who underwent auto transplantation, clinical and radiographic outcomes were considered satisfactory at one and two years postoperatively. Bone healing was observed around the roots of transplanted teeth, which showed good function. In autotransplantation cases, even when the donor tooth has complete root formation, a high success rate can be achieved when the patient is properly selected and treated. Although the chance of root resorption remains because of necrotic pulp and periodontal irritation during manipulation, auto transplantation should be considered as a good treatment modality in feasible cases. Based on the present findings, even though autotransplantation is not common in general dental practice, we consider that it offers a clinically and economically viable alternative as compared to other more complicated prosthetic and dental implant treatments. The purpose of this report is to show that auto transplantation is a superior treatment method for single molar defects as compared to other prosthetic methods, as the periodontal ligament of the patient can be used and cutting adjacent teeth is avoided. In addition, it is a treatment method that can effectively utilize a wisdom tooth.
