Abstract
Autotransplantation has been proven as a viable method of reconstructing missing teeth. While preparing the recipient site, the bone reduction location depends largely on the surgeon's experience. Inappropriate overpreparation can cause biologic and esthetic complications, such as buccal or lingual bone resorption. This paper provides an innovative method to aid clinicians in precisely preparing a recipient site with the assistance of medical image-processing software and a real-time navigation system. This case report presents the autotransplantation of a mandibular molar using this technique with good short-term (6 months) clinical outcomes, including radiographic bone fill, normal probing pocket depth, physiologic tooth mobility, acceptable gingival level, and satisfactory restoration.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry will
publish manuscripts concerned with all aspects of clinical periodontology,
restorative dentistry, and implantology. This includes pertinent research
as well as clinical methodology (their interdependence and relationship
should be addressed where applicable); proceedings of relevant symposia
or conferences; and quality review papers. Original manuscripts are considered for publication on the condition that they have not been published
or submitted for publication elsewhere.
