Tooth autotransplantation with 3D-printed replicas as part of interdisciplinary management of children and adolescents: Two case reports

The management of missing teeth as a result of dental trauma or associated with hypodontia in children and adolescents presents as a clinical challenge for the dental team. One of the options that is regaining popularity is dental autotransplantation. To improve autotransplantation outcomes, careful interdisciplinary planning, surgical simulation using cone beam computed tomography images and three-dimensional-printed teeth replicas should be undertaken for presurgical preparation. This case report showcases two applications of autotransplantation, with emphasis on interdisciplinary management, presurgical preparation and postsurgical orthodontic and aesthetic management to deliver a good long-term, sustainable, biological outcome, as a part of a comprehensive rehabilitation treatment plan in children.
