Proposal of use of the autotransplantation of the third molar as space maintainer in growing patients: a review of literature and a clinical case

J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2021 May-Jun;35(3 Suppl. 1):179-184. doi: 10.23812/21-3supp1-20.ABSTRACTThe 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.PMID:34289677 | DOI:10.23812/21-3supp1-20
