Case Reports in Dentistry
|September 22, 2025
Summary
This case report demonstrates successful tooth transplantation combined with a graft-free sinus lift for insufficient bone volume. A wisdom tooth was autotransplanted, showing full eruption and new bone growth after four years.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Periodontology
- Regenerative Dentistry
Background:
- Insufficient bone volume in the maxillary premolar region presents a challenge for dental implants and tooth replacement.
- Autotransplantation of teeth offers a biological alternative for replacing missing teeth.
- Sinus lifts are often required to augment bone height in the posterior maxilla, typically involving bone grafts.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
