Summary
This case study demonstrates successful tooth autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth in an adult. Objective pulse oximetry confirmed revascularization, offering a new protocol for monitoring transplanted teeth.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Tooth autotransplantation success depends on donor tooth anatomy and root development.
- Mature teeth have lower revascularization potential, often necessitating root canal treatment (RCT) and increasing complications.
- This case involves a mature wisdom tooth autotransplantation after failed root canal retreatment of a first molar.
