ABSTRACT

Dental autotransplantation is a treatment option to replace dental organs. Despite being an option with acceptable success rates, it is not an option in common practice due to lack of knowledge or complex surgical technique as it has to be performed with the least damage to involved structures. However, thanks to technological advances today it is possible to use these tools to simplify or simulate surgical scenarios, reducing times and increasing success rates. This article presents a clinical case of a patient with the lower left canine retained in the mandibular symphysis, which was extracted and autotransplanted in its ideal location thanks to a preparation of the alveolus carried out with a resin reconstruction by computed tomography, achieving favorable results even after performing orthodontic treatments, representing in this case that autotransplantation is a viable option for patients with impacted or retained teeth, as well as the current importance of technology for the diagnosis and planning of surgical procedures.
