Abstract

Autotransplantation of teeth as an alternative to dental implantation is characterized by short healing periods, preservation of aesthetics and propriosensitivity in the area of the transplanted tooth and the possibility of its orthodontic movement. This clinical case describes a successful delayed autotransplantation of the third maxilla molar (2.8.) with the completed root formation into the socket of a previously removed tooth 1.6. with perforation in the maxillary sinus area on the right and the presence of signs of chronic inflammation. Long-term observations after 30 months demonstrate favorable healing with restoration of dentoalveolar attachment in the area of the transplanted tooth, relief of inflammatory process in the area of the maxillary sinus with restoration of the cortical plate. Key words:CBCT, tooth transplantation, dental autotansplantation, wisdom teeth.
