Abstract:
A 14-year-old boy lost 11 permanent teeth and part of the processus alveolaris after an accident with his racing bike. A treatment plan was developed in an interdisciplinary setting. The aim was to functionally and aesthetically restore the dentition while growth was still ongoing. To achieve this, the unique properties and possibilities of autotransplants compared to implants were utilized. Four premolars and two third molars were transplanted strategically anteriorly and mesially in the lateral areas after endodontic pretreatment. After orthodontic treatment, four diastemas remained, which were closed using an adhesive restoration.

Teeth
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...
Tooth Anatomy
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...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
