Fully guided tooth autotransplantation using a multidrilling axis surgical stent: proof of concept

Introduction: Digital technology has been progressively introduced into tooth autotransplantation to enhance both treatment planning and surgery. The aim of this report was to describe a novel protocol for fully guided tooth autotransplantation. Methods: This report includes 10 consecutive patients...

Sumario:Introduction: Digital technology has been progressively introduced into tooth autotransplantation to enhance both treatment planning and surgery. The aim of this report was to describe a novel protocol for fully guided tooth autotransplantation. Methods: This report includes 10 consecutive patients treated with a complete virtual planning and a multidrilling axis surgical guide in combination with the computer-aided rapid prototyping model. Results: All transplanted teeth fulfilled the criteria for success over a mean follow-up duration of 13.1 months. No signs of progressive root resorption or pain were found during follow-up. One case required minimal adjustment of the surgical stent to allow correct seating, whereas a second case could not be performed fully guided because of limited mouth opening. Conclusions: Our protocol for fully guided tooth autotransplantation is a viable option that involves minimal bone preparation in a short surgical time. Future research should focus on further investigation of the benefits of this novel protocol in a larger sample.
