Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the long-term outcome of autotransplanted maxillary canines and to investigate the influencing parameters. Seventy-one patients (84 transplanted canines) volunteered to participate in this study. The mean follow-up time was 21 years. In case of tooth survival and when patients were found willing for recall, teeth were investigated clinically and radiographically. Transplanted teeth were compared to the contralateral canine and scored with an aesthetic and radiographic index. The survival rate was 67.9%, considering that 27 transplanted teeth were lost before examination. The mean survival time was 15.8 years. Maxillary canine autotransplantation may have a successful outcome up to 21 years after transplantation requiring minimal patient compliance and low financial costs. The survival rate can be considered favorable realizing that autotransplantation is a treatment option in a selected group of cases.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
