This document summarizes the key aspects and considerations for autogenic dental transplants. It discusses the technique, which involves carefully dissecting rather than extracting the donor tooth and immediately placing it in the prepared recipient site while avoiding damage to the periodontal ligament. Success rates from previous studies ranging from 72-100% are reported. Factors like patient age, root development stage, fixation method, and avoidance of forces for 3-6 months are discussed as important to transplant success and outcomes like revascularization and root growth. Premolars and third molars are considered good candidates due to their dispensability and timing of development. While more common in Scandinavia, the document argues autogenic transplants can be a viable treatment option
This study examined the effectiveness and efficiency of early treatment versus late treatment for Class II malocclusions. The researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing early treatment using headgear or functional appliances to a control group receiving no early treatment. Results showed that while early treatment produced small changes to jaw growth, this initial advantage was not sustained. There were no differences found between the groups in final skeletal or dental measurements, need for extractions, treatment time, or quality of dental occlusion after treatment. Therefore, the study concluded that early treatment was generally no more effective than conventional late treatment for most cases of Class II malocclusion.
This case presentation summarizes the orthodontic treatment plan for a 15-year-old female patient. The patient presented with spaced upper teeth and a crossbite on the right side. The examination revealed Class II malocclusion, missing upper lateral incisors, and crowding. Treatment aims to widen the maxilla with rapid palatal expansion, align the arches with fixed appliances, and achieve a Class I occlusion. The plan includes expansion, molar derotation, fixed appliances, space maintenance for future prosthetics, and retainers.
