Abstract:
The objective of this study was to determined success rate and survival rate of autotransplantation in teeth with complete root formation. The sample comprised 12 patients with 13 donor teeth (2 canines, 2 premolars, 9 third molars). The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 32 years (range 17 years 7 months to 56 years 8 months). Observation period were carried out at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 months, 1 year and once a year thereafter.The mean age of observation period was 4 years 4 months (range 1 year 3 months to 8 years 8 months). The follow up were examined clinically and radiographically. Clinical examination assessed plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, pocket depth, tooth mobility and percussion test. Radiographs were used to examined bone healing, lamina dura, alveolar crest, periodontal space and root resorption. The success rate was 61.5 % (8 of 13 teeth) and survival rate was 92.3 (12 of 13 teeth). Autotransplantation in teeth with complete root formation has been proved by several researches of high survival rate. Therefore, autogenous tooth transplantation is one of viable treatment options for non-restorable tooth replacement.
