Transalveolar transplantation of maxillary canines. A follow-up study

Abstract

This follow-up study on transalveolar transplantation includes 56 maxillary impacted canines in 47 patients, with a post-operative control period of 2-10 years (mean 4.7 years). The prognosis of the transplanted teeth is still very good; only two canines have been lost, due to poor oral hygiene or fracture of the tooth. These positive follow-up results indicate that transalveolar transplantation will offer greater flexibility in the treatment of impacted maxillary canines in adults.

Muco‐gingival and periodontal health recovery following reimplantation of teeth

“…In the present study, no differences were observed in probing attachment levels, suggesting perfect incorporation of the reimplanted teeth. Though no specific hygiene control regimen was instituted, this situation was anticipated, thus confirming clinical investigations showing gingival and bony healing following transplantation of teeth (14,15). It appears that reimplanting teeth under optimal conditions, with no associated luxation injuries or alveolar bone fractures, allows the muco-gingival tissues to recover totally.…”

“…Recent research investigations suggest that autotransplantation of teeth with either complete or incomplete root formation can be performed with good bony and periodontal healing (14,15), resulting in a healthy gingival margin; nevertheless, the long-term effects of the reimplantation procedure on the mucogingival status of reimplanted teeth have never been documented. As periodontal healing is considered to be the main determinant of long-term survival of autotransplanted and reimplanted teeth (1 6), the purpose of the present study was to assess gingival recovery and its possible effect on periodontal health, after reimplantation of anterior teeth following traumatic avulsion.…”

Autotransplantation of Teeth with Complete Root Formation: A Case Series

“…In autogenous tooth transplantation, long-term firm fixation may have negative effects on healing, whereas nonrigid fixation for 7 to 10 days stimulates the activation of alveolar ligament cells and bone healing (18,19). Tsukiboshi et al (1) reported that the tooth should be fixed for between 2 weeks and 2 months depending on whether the mobility is reduced.…”
