Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Context:

  • Tooth transplantation is a biological alternative to prosthetic or orthodontic tooth replacement.
  • It is particularly relevant for children and young adults who have lost teeth due to trauma.
  • High success rates, especially in Scandinavian countries, highlight its clinical significance.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of tooth transplantation literature.
  • To detail current transplantation techniques and influencing factors.
  • To emphasize the importance of diagnosis and preoperative planning for successful outcomes.

Summary:

  • Successful tooth transplantation relies on meticulous diagnosis, tissue-conserving collection, and appropriate conditioning of the transplant bed.
