Surgical extrusion, intentional replantation, tooth autotransplantation
Topic:Learning Objectives:
-Understand the indications, contraindications, and clinical scenarios where surgical extrusion, intentional replantation, and tooth autotransplantation are viable treatment options in endodontics.
-Learn the step-by-step procedural techniques and principles involved in performing surgical extrusion, intentional replantation, and tooth auto transplantation, including preoperative evaluation, surgical planning, and postoperative management.
-Explore the potential complications, risks, and long-term outcomes associated with surgical extrusion, intentional replantation, and tooth auto transplantation, and develop strategies for minimizing adverse effects and optimizing treatment success.Surgical extrusion, intentional replantation and tooth autotransplantation procedures
are important treatment options that clinicians may consider performing in their day-to-day clinical practice. Despite compromised teeth are generally considered for extraction, clinicians must be aware that these cases could be suitable for management by these alternative predictable treatment options. Surgical extrusion, intentional replantation or tooth autotransplantation have similar treatment protocols which includes atraumatic tooth extraction, visualisation of the root portion and replantation. Surgical extrusion is defined as the ‘procedure in which the remaining tooth structure is repositioned at a more coronal/supragingival position in the same socket in which the tooth was located originally’. Intentional replantation is defined as the ‘deliberate extraction of a tooth and after evaluation of root surfaces, endodontic manipulation and repair, placement of the tooth back into its original position’. Tooth autotransplantation is defined as the ‘transplantation of an unerupted or erupted tooth in the same individual, from one site to another extraction site or a new surgically prepared socket’.
The aim of this lecture is to provide the attendees a complete overview and background on these procedures by reviewing previously published reviews and position statement on this topic, to established clear clinical protocols and step-by-step for technically perform these therapies in their clinical practice and to establish future directions on the topics.
