    Autotransplantation of tooth in children is the surgical movement of a tooth from one place in the
    mouth to another in the similar individual. Once thought to be uncertain, Autotransplantation has
    achieved high success rates and is an outstanding option for tooth replacement in children. Although
    the indications for autotransplantation are narrow, careful patient assortment coupled with a suitable
    method can lead to exceptional esthetic and useful results. One benefit of this procedure is that
    placement of an implant-supported prosthesis or other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is not
    needed. A review of the recommended surgical technique as well as success rates is also discussed.

Table 2. Successful healing factors associated with autotransplantation of teeth


            a.Patient related factors
            - Better results in younger patients
            - A patient free of major systemic and metabolic problems or specific habits (e.g., smoking)
            - Good oral hygiene and a cooperative attitude.

            b.Donor tooth related factors

            Periodontal ligament (PDL)
            - The presence of intact and vital PDL attached to the root surface
            - Preservation of vital PDL when the tooth is outside the mouth using physiologic salt
            water or milk or preservation liquids and as short a surgery time as possible
            - Enhanced healing of the gingival tissue by placing a 1 mm band of PDL
            fibers on the root above the crest of bone
            - A major factor in the formation of alveolar bone
            - A chance of inadequate PDL development as an effective attachment with an impacted
            tooth (nonfunctioning tooth)
            Healing of dental pulp
            - The preservation of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS)
            - Healing of the dental pulp occurs until Moorrees tooth development stage 5
            - When the diameter of the apical foramina is > 1 mm, there is more than an 87% chance
            the dental pulp will heal
            Continuation of root development
            - Ideal timing of transplantation is when development of the donor tooth roots is 3/4 to 4/5 complete
            Gingival adaptation
            - Tight flap adaptation prevents bacterial invasion into the recipient socket
            Root morphology
            - Teeth with a single, cone-shaped root without concavity around the cervical area are most favorable.

            c. Recipient site related factors
            - Bone width and height should be adequate to receive the donor tooth
            - Better healing can be expected if the PDL tissue is still attached
            - Transplantation should be performed the day of transplantation or
            within 1 month after extraction

            d. Clinical factors

            - Surgery should be performed by a clinician with experience in such areas as Surgery should be

AUTOTRANSPLANTATION OF TEETH IN CHILDREN

  • 1. Journal of Dentistry, Medicine and Medical Sciences Vol. 2(2) pp. xxx-xxx, November 2012 Available online http://www.interesjournals.org/JDMMS Copyright ©2012 International Research Journals Review Autotransplantation of Tooth in Children with Mixed Dentition 1 Abu-Hussein Muhamad and 2Abdulgani Azzaldeen 1 Athens University, Athens-Greece 2 Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Quds University ABSTRACT Autotransplantation of tooth in children is the surgical movement of a tooth from one place in the mouth to another in the similar individual. Once thought to be uncertain, Autotransplantation has achieved high success rates and is an outstanding option for tooth replacement in children. Although the indications for autotransplantation are narrow, careful patient assortment coupled with a suitable method can lead to exceptional esthetic and useful results. One benefit of this procedure is that placement of an implant-supported prosthesis or other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is not needed. A review of the recommended surgical technique as well as success rates is also discussed. Keywords: Autotransplantation, clinical indications, healing factors ,cryopreservation. INTRODUCTION The age at which the first tooth appears differs very much situation involves the removal of a third molar which may from child to child. Very occasionally, children are born then be transferred to the site of an unrestorable first with one or more teeth. These may need to be removed if molar. Extra circumstances in which transplantation can they are very loose, as there is a risk that the child could be careful include tooth agenesis (particularly of swallow them, or have difficulties with breastfeeding. premolars and lateral incisors), shocking tooth loss, Other children may not expand any teeth until they are atopic outbreak of canines, root resorption, large more than a year old. Usually, however, the first tooth - endodontic lesions, cervical root fractures, localized which tends to be in the middle of the lower jaw - appears juvenile periodontitis as well as other pathologies (Alberg, at around six months of age. The complete set of 20 1999). Successful transplantation depends on specific primary teeth (baby teeth) is usually present by the age of requirements of the patient, the donor tooth, and the two-and-a-half years. The first permanent teeth appear recipient site (Andreasen et al., 1990). at around six years of age. These tend to be the incisors Patient selection is very significant for the in the middle of the lower jaw and the first permanent achievement of autotransplantation. Child must be in molar teeth.

To design a treatment plan, another site of the mouth and rarely to another recipient. the clinician must understand the growth and Studies showed that implants utilized in filling gaps of development patterns, and the known effects of the missing front teeth are not the best alternative since this chosen treatment modality can cause a considerable amount of bone loss and Many dental development problems can be headed off abrasion on neighboring teeth and surrounding gums. in the mixed dentition; for example, anterior cross bites. Auto transplantation is considered a better alternative in In-time removal of a deciduous tooth could prevent a certain cases. (Andreasen et al., 1990; Andreasen et al., cross bite, but once the permanent upper incisor is 1990; Czochrowska et al., 2000; Zachrisson et al., 2004). caught on the lingual of the lower incisors, treatment is Auto transplantation is a tooth surgical procedure in needed. The anterior cross bite can cause tissue damage one location to another location within the same person. around the affected lower incisor. Another example is the Before, this was considered experimental, but in present displaced lower midline as a result of the early loss of a times auto-transplantation is a better alternative for tooth lower deciduous canine (García-Calderón et al., 2005; replacement with high success rate. Indication for clients Czochrowska et al., 2000). opted for this procedure is narrow (Table 2), and thorough patient selection added with appropriate technique leads to outstanding aesthetic and functional Auto-transplantation capabilities. One advantage of this procedure is that the placement of implant-supported prosthesis or other form This is a surgical procedure in which tooth from one part of prosthetic tooth replacement is not essentially required of the mouth is transplanted to another. Indications for (Czochrowska et al., 2002; Teixeira et al., 2006). such procedure are as below: 1. Hypodontia – This is where there are missing tooth or teeth such as a missing central incisor, a premolar can Indications for auto-transplantation be use as a substitute. 2. Premature loss of tooth- especially true in first molar Usually, auto transplantation is done because of tooth area where it may have been loss due to caries and the loss due to dental caries, predominantly in the first molars space is too great to be closed by the second molar.

Successful healing factors associated with autotransplantation of teeth a.Patient related factors - Better results in younger patients - A patient free of major systemic and metabolic problems or specific habits (e.g., smoking) - Good oral hygiene and a cooperative attitude. b.Donor tooth related factors Periodontal ligament (PDL) - The presence of intact and vital PDL attached to the root surface - Preservation of vital PDL when the tooth is outside the mouth using physiologic salt water or milk or preservation liquids and as short a surgery time as possible - Enhanced healing of the gingival tissue by placing a 1 mm band of PDL fibers on the root above the crest of bone - A major factor in the formation of alveolar bone - A chance of inadequate PDL development as an effective attachment with an impacted tooth (nonfunctioning tooth) Healing of dental pulp - The preservation of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) - Healing of the dental pulp occurs until Moorrees tooth development stage 5 - When the diameter of the apical foramina is > 1 mm, there is more than an 87% chance the dental pulp will heal Continuation of root development - Ideal timing of transplantation is when development of the donor tooth roots is 3/4 to 4/5 complete Gingival adaptation - Tight flap adaptation prevents bacterial invasion into the recipient socket Root morphology - Teeth with a single, cone-shaped root without concavity around the cervical area are most favorable. c. Recipient site related factors - Bone width and height should be adequate to receive the donor tooth - Better healing can be expected if the PDL tissue is still attached - Transplantation should be performed the day of transplantation or within 1 month after extraction d. Clinical factors - Surgery should be performed by a clinician with experience in such areas as Surgery should be performed by a clinician with experience in such areas as donor tooth extraction, preparation of the recipient site, and tissue management and localized juvenile periodontitis. (Andreasen et al., et al., 2004; Czochrowska et al., 2002; Teixeira et al., 1990; García-Calderón et al., 2005; Czochrowska et al., 2006; Kallu et al., 2005). 2000; Czochrowska et al., 2002; Teixeira et al., 2006). Tooth length and development stage is vital in Transplant success depends primarily on the specified determining the affectivity of a replantation wherein the requirements from the client, donor tooth, and recipient tooth has between one-half to two-thirds complete root site. Autotransplant success is based on how well the development. So, autotransplantation of the premolars healing takes place after the procedure (Czochrowska et where there is half to two thirds completed root al., 2000). A healthy tooth with undamaged periodontal development have higher chances of pulp survival, with ligament will have higher degree of success. Before minimum chances of necrosis (cell death). (Kristerson, having this procedure, clients must have a good health 1995) and oral hygiene regimen. Most of all, a suitable donor Another factor influencing tooth development is the tooth and recipient site are required so that tooth can be status of epithelial root sheath or the covering.

Consequently, only a few clinics have the several days post-surgery, and chewing on the transplant expertise to do tooth cryopreservation and make it should be avoided. Clients should always maintain good available to their clients. With cryopreservation, elevated oral hygiene. (Jensen and Kreiborg, 1992) numbers of healthy teeth extractions can be done for orthodontic purposes and it enables sufficient amounts of donor teeth in cases of extensive surgical reconstruction. Auto transplantation: Surgical Technique Tissue banks for teeth tissues are regulated legally for quality control (Czochrowska et al., 2000; Czochrowska The surgical techniques used in autotransplantation have et al., 2002; Teixeira et al., 2006; Kallu et al., 2005; progressively been modeled and refined over the years.
