CE Hours: 0.75

Description: This presentation examines the renewed role of dental autotransplantation as a predictable and biologically sound treatment option in modern endodontic and restorative practice. Through clinical case examples and a review of current evidence, we will discuss optimal indications, including developmental anomalies, traumatic tooth loss, and strategic tooth replacement in growing patients, and outline the key factors that determine successful outcomes. Advances in CBCT-guided planning, minimally invasive extraction and socket preparation, and the use of surgical replicas have significantly improved both accuracy and long-term prognosis. Step-by-step clinical protocols will be presented, along with potential risks and contraindications. By reframing autotransplantation as a realistic, evidence-based alternative to implants and prosthetics, this session aims to expand the treatment armamentarium and decision-making skillset of the contemporary endodontist.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Identify clinical conditions where autotransplantation is a viable alternative treatment option.
  • Describe essential steps for donor tooth selection, surgical planning, and socket preparation.
  • Summarize evidence supporting autotransplantation as a predictable treatment option in contemporary practice.
