Autotransplantation of Wisdom Teeth

Autotransplantation emerges as a viable alternative to tooth extraction and prosthetic restoration when conventional endodontic treatments are unfeasible or contraindicated. The success of autotransplantation is influenced by diverse factors, including root development stage, tooth morphology, surgical technique, extraoral duration, recipient socket shape, recipient bed vascularity, and periodontal ligament cell vitality. Preserving periodontal ligament quality and achieving tissue adaptation are pivotal for successful tooth transplantation. Successful donor tooth replacement is influenced by variables like fitting attempts, alveolus-root distance, extra-alveolar time, surgical skill, and extraction trauma intensity.
