“…Other treatment methods, such as autotransplantation [19,27] or Maryland bridges [8] are comparatively rarely indicated. What all these methods have in common is the fact that surgical removal of the lower wisdom tooth on the aplastic side is eventually necessary in many cases.…”

Method and Patients:A method is presented that allows unilateral space closure in patients with aplastic lower second premolars. Based on a straight-wire appliance, space closure was achieved with a combination of "push mechanics" using the second molar as an anchorage unit and Class II "pull mechanics", thus avoiding the application of any distalizing force on the lower incisors. The results from 13 consecutively treated subjects (five boys, eight girls, mean age 12 years and 6 months) were analyzed.

“…Autotransplantation of developing premolars to replace missing anterior teeth in growing patients before the root is fully formed is now a common procedure and modality that has received increasing attention, because it has been shown to be a predictable substitution method with capacity for functional adaptation, potential for bone induction and preservation of the alveolar ridge, and re-establishment of a normal alveolar process (1,2,5). The autotransplantation procedure is indicated when there is a missing tooth by trauma or agenesia, or when the tooth presents a bad survival prognosis in a mouth where an appropriate donor tooth can be used without negative effects in the arch (3,(5)(6)(7).…”

Ten immature autotransplanted lower premolars from six patients from 7 to 12 years of age were studied and assessed clinically and radiographically at Regional Clinical Hospital in Temuco between January 2004 and April 2006. All transplantations were performed both because of a missing anterior tooth by dental trauma or by healing complications after injuries. The mean age at the time of the surgery was 10 years (range 7-12 years) and the postoperative follow-up period varied from 5 to 27 months with a mean of 16.9 months. All teeth were stabilized with flexible composite resin wire splints. Within the follow-up period, clinical evaluation was made through percussion and mobility tests. At radiographic evaluation, pulpal canal obliteration (PCO), presence of perirradicular area, inflammatory root resorption (IRR), replacement resorption (RR), stage of root development, lamina dura formation, outline of the periodontal membrane, and arrest in root growth were registered. Pulp healing was observed in 6 of 10 teeth; the other transplanted teeth developed pulp necrosis after 6-8 months possibly related to operative aesthetic procedures. Four teeth showed different grades of PCO at radiographic examination. None of transplanted teeth developed replacement resorption or ankylosis. In this 27-month follow-up period, the survival rate was 100%, regarding aesthetics, function, clinical appearance, and radiographic image of alveolar process.

The transplantation of developing third molars should be given stronger consideration in treatment plans for orthodontic space management although it represents a real alternative to orthodontic space closure only in exceptional cases. However, unlike implantological or prosthodontic treatment, it offers an opportunity to replace a missing or non-retainable tooth with a patient's own vital and fully functional tooth, provided the appropriate transplant is selected.
