Recovery of the Unfavorable Homotransplantation of Teeth

―Two Cases of Secondary Implantation―

Abstract

Recently, oral implantation and teeth homotransplantation have drawn interest. We have tried many cases in teeth homotransplantation and expected this could be used in osteoankylosis.
Unfortunately, most of those teeth had fallen out. Therefore, in such cases, we had tried performing oral implants to recover them.
In this paper, two cases of oral implants which were implanted after failure in transplantation of teeth are reported.
The first case was a 42-year-old female. Seven teeth were homotransplanted, but they had to be extracted one year later.
The second case was a 65-year-old male. Seven teeth were also homotransplanted, but six of them had to be extracted from 4 to 7 months later. In both of these cases, oral implantation was performed after their teeth were extracted. Based on these two cases, the effectiveness of oral implantation after extraction of unfavorably homotransplanted teeth has been confirmed.
