A case of applying autologous tooth transplantation to treat problems with teeth presenting dental implant

Abstract

In cases of root fracture or other problems adjacent to implants that lead to tooth extraction, it is often difficult to restore oral function afterward. Since the connection between implants and natural teeth is not recommended, the treatment options are generally limited to placement of additional implants, refabrication of a superstructure, or a partial denture. The 68-year-old male patient with supragingival fracture underwent restorative treatment after orthodontic extrusion and extraction of #13-#12, transplantation of #12 into the extraction socket of #13, and transplantation and orthodontic attachment of a portion of the root of #13 into the extraction socket of #12.
