Proposal of use of the autotransplantation of the third molar as space maintainer in growing patients: a review of literature and a clinical case
Vol 35, Issue 3S1, 2021
Abstract
The review of literature shows that 48,22% of the autotranspated teeth were orthodontically treated. A 13-year-old male patient presented a destructive decay in the element 3.6, which was underoccluded. To maintain the arch space and the quantity of bone necessary for a potential implant, it was decided to perform an autotransplantation of the impacted element 3.8. Tooth autotransplantation is a valid and durable alternative to the prosthetic and the implant solutions with high success rate.
