Tooth autotransplantation is the treatment modality in which a tooth is transferred from one site to another in the same person. This technique has a history of centuries. However, it is not well-known or welldocumented. Essential aspects of the clinical procedure, criteria for performing tooth autotransplantation, advantages, disadvantages, and complications are also discussed in the review. It has been a public health concern considering the prevalence of dental trauma in children, the financial burden of treatment, and the long recovery times associated with dental injuries. There is evidence that tooth autotransplantation is an effective method of restoring missing teeth, particularly for growing children. Even if autotransplantation fails, the soft tissue and bone conditions would likely still be suitable for subsequent implant treatment. Appropriate patient and tooth selection are essential to the technique's success. Other prognostic factors are also discussed. The findings from the available literature suggest that tooth autotransplantation is a viable and cost-effective technique. This paper discusses the literature and protocols the authors implemented for autotransplantation of the tooth.

“…In the study by Vishwanath et al [ 30 ], a lost central incisor was replaced successfully by autotransplantation in combination with orthodontic treatment in a growing child who had previously undergone facial trauma. A unique aspect of their case was that autotransplantation was performed on a person who did not fit the standard criteria.…”

“…Several advantages of this technique have been reported. 4,7,20 First, before transplantation, the location, placement, and angulation of the donor tooth can be examined with the replica. In this patient, it was decided to rotate the mandibular first premolar by 90 to accommodate the tooth within the labiolingual width of the maxillary alveolus.…”

“…1,2 Many orthodontic patients in which anterior or posterior teeth have to be extracted replace a missing tooth with a natural tooth rather than with a dental implant or bridgework. 3,4 The advantage of tooth transplantation, unlike dental implants, is that transplanted teeth have living periodontal ligaments. Thus, the sense of mastication and occlusion can be perceived, and orthodontic tooth movement can be performed.…”

This case report describes the successful orthodontic treatment of a 12-year-old girl with skeletal Class III malocclusion and severe root resorption of the maxillary anterior teeth. Ectopic eruption and mesial inclination of the bilateral maxillary canines caused severe root resorption of the right central and lateral incisors and the left lateral incisor. These 3 teeth were extracted, and traction was applied to the maxillary right and left canines toward the extracted right central incisor and left lateral incisor, respectively. In the mandibular arch, the bilateral first premolars were extracted, and the crowding was corrected. The extracted mandibular right first premolar was transplanted after extraction of the maxillary right lateral incisor. To prepare for the tooth transplantation, a cone-beam computed tomography image was used to fabricate a 3-dimensional printed replica of the donor tooth. The crown shape of the maxillary anterior teeth was corrected, and the patient achieved functional occlusion with pleasing esthetics. Root resorption was negligible in the transplanted tooth. This study demonstrates the satisfactory treatment outcome and an effective 3-dimensional simulation for tooth transplantation.

“…Dental autotransplantation is an economical and viable alternative for the replacement of dental organs helping to maintain dental functionality and harmony, as well as bone preservation in comparison with the usual prosthetic rehabilitation or dental implants [1] . Dental autotransplantation is a surgical procedure performed since the 11th century by Albucasis, it was introduced by Fauchard in 1728 in his book Le Chirurgien Dentiste and it was until 1950 when the first publications of cases performed with this technique began, which consists of extracting a tooth from its original position to place it in another area of the dental arch in the same individual [2][3][4][5] . The prognosis of this therapeutic option has improved thanks to advances in the understanding of bone, periodontal and pulp healing, as well as technological advances that today are more easily accessible for clinical practice to achieve success rates between 75.3-91% [6] .…”

Introduction: Dental autotransplantation is an economical and viable alternative for the replacement of teeth with closed apex. The use of piezoelectric surgery is a beneficial tool and is considered a less invasive technique, ideal for autotransplantation of dental organs. Objective: To analyze the literature on dental autotransplantation using 3D replicas of donor teeth, as well as the prognosis of treatment in teeth with immature apex and complete apex, the use of piezoelectric for the extraction of the donor tooth and the use of tissue regeneration in the transplanted teeth. Methodology: A review was carried out in the databases Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar with the keywords "tooth autotransplantation", "guided tooth autotransplantation", "mature donor teeth", "3D replica model", "platelet-rich fibrin". Results: The use of a 3D guide helps to know the anatomy and achieves accurate repositioning of the donor tooth, taking care of adjacent structures, reducing surgical time and periodontal ligament damage, to achieve higher long-term survival rates. Transplanted teeth with immature apex have a survival rate of more than 97% and their postoperative recovery is more comfortable, less painful and more bone tissue is preserved. Tissue regeneration contributes to the reduction of postoperative pain, helps healing by reducing inflammation, which increases the success rate of the transplanted teeth, but does not prevent future complications. Conclusion: Dental autotransplantation is a valuable treatment option achieving successful long-term results with multiple advantages.
