Summary
This case report demonstrates a 27-year success of molar autotransplantation using jiggling forces to prepare the periodontal ligament space. This translational approach, integrating orthodontics and trauma principles, highlights the importance of preserving periodontal ligament fibers for successful tooth reimplantation.
Area of Science:
- Dental Medicine
- Translational Medicine
- Orthodontics
Background:
- Tooth autotransplantation aims to improve treatment success and long-term survival.
- A translational approach using jiggling forces to enlarge the periodontal ligament (PDL) space before autotransplantation was investigated.
