Purpose: Autogenous transplantation of teeth can be defined as transplantation of teeth from one site to another in the same individual, involving transfer of impacted or erupted teeth into extraction sites or surgically prepared sockets". Successful autogenous transplantation of teeth depends upon a complex variety of factors. Such factors include damage to the periodontal ligament of the donor tooth, residual bone height of the recipient site, extra-oral time of tooth during surgery. Schwartz and Andreasen previously reported that autogenous transplantation of teeth with incomplete root formation demonstrated higher success rate than that of teeth with complete root formation. Gault and Mejare yielded similar rate of successful autogenous transplantation both in teeth with complete root formation and in teeth with incomplete root formation when appropriate cases were selected. This case report was aimed at the clinical and radiographic view in autogenous transplantation of teeth with complete root formation. Materials and Methods: Patients who presented to the department of periodontics, Chonnam National University Hospital underwent autogenous transplantation of teeth. One patient had vertical root fracture in a upper right second molar and upper left third molar was transplanted. And another patient who needed orthodontic treatment had residual root due to caries on upper right first premolar. Upper right premolar was extracted and lower right second premolar was transplanted. Six months later, orthodontic force was applied. Results: 7 months or 11/2 year later, each patient had clinically shallow pocket depth and normal tooth mobility. Root resorption and bone loss were not observed in radiograph and function was maintained successfully. Conclusion: Autogenous transplantation is considered as a predictive procedure when it is performed for the appropriate indication and when maintenance is achieved through regular radiographic taking and follow-up.

Ideal autogenous or allogenic bone graft materials should provide 1) stabilization of blood clot, 2) scaffolds for cellular proliferation and differentiation, 3) release of osteogenic growth factors, 4) appropriate resorption profile for remodeling of new bone. Teeth, especially dentin, mostly contain hydroxyapatite and type I collagen which are similar to bone, and could be valuable graft material. Clinically teeth are used as calcined or demineralized forms. Demineralized form of dentin can be more effective as a graft material. But a conventional decalcification method takes time and long treatment time may give negative effects to various osteogenic proteins in dentin. Author used a new clinical method to prepare autogenous teeth, which could be grafted into the removal defects immediately after extraction using vacuum ultrasonic system. The process could be finished within two hours regardless of the form (powder, chip or block). Teeth were processed to graft materials in block, chip, or powder types immediately after extraction. It took 120 minutes to prepare block types and 40 minutes to prepare powder. Clinical cases did not show any adverse response and the healing was favorable. Rapid preparation of autogenous teeth with the vacuum ultrasonic system could make the immediate one-day extraction and graft possible.

Recently, clinical application of autogenous tooth bone-graft materials has been reported. Autogenous tooth bone graft has been used in implant surgery. Familial tooth bone graft is a more advanced procedure than autogenous teeth bone graft in that extracted teeth can be used for bone graft materials of implant and teeth donation between siblings is possible. We used autogenous tooth and familial tooth bone-graft materials for ridge augmentation and sinus bone graft and obtained satisfactory results. The cases are presented herein.

The extracted right mandibular third molar of a 37-year-old man was transplanted into the first molar area, and a bone graft procedure using autogenous tooth-bone graft material was performed for the space between the root and the alveolar socket. Reattachment was achieved after 10 months. Therefore, autogenous tooth-bone graft material is considered reasonable for bone induction and healing in the autotransplantation of teeth.

The use of autogenous tooth bone graft material has been commercialized since 2008. Autogenous tooth bone grafts always require that the tooth of the patient be extracted, and thus, the use of graft material are limited in many cases. For solution of limitation in quantity and concurrent use of autogenous tooth bone graft material, the grafting of familial teeth has been suggested. It has the following advantages: the teeth of family members are used as bone graft materials, the genetic composition is identical, and potential genetic and infectious risks can be minimized. Because the teeth of family members are used, a good tissue affinity is obtained, and thus, superior bone generation rates compared to those observed for allogenic or xenogenic bones can be anticipated. We used familial tooth bone-graft materials for alveolar ridge augmentation, socket preservation, and maxillary sinus graft in some cases. In most cases, the impacted third molars of their children were prepared as bone graft material and were used for surgery. In one case, the impacted third molar from the patient's brother was used as bone graft material. We obtained satisfactory result and these cases are reported herein.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of autogenous fresh demineralized tooth (auto-FDT) graft prepared at the chairside for alveolar bone grafting during dental implant surgery. Methods: In total, 38 patients requiring both tooth extraction (for endodontic or periodontal reasons or third molar extraction) and alveolar bone regeneration for dental implant placement were included. Within 2 h after clean extraction, the teeth were prepared at the chairside to serve as bone graft material. In the same sitting, blocks or chips of this graft material were used to reconstruct defects at the osteotomy site simultaneously with or before implant placement. Twelve months after prosthesis fabrication and placement, the clinical findings and implant success rates were evaluated. Histological studies were randomly conducted for selected cases. Results: Clinical evaluation showed favorable wound healing with minimal complications and good bone support for the implants. No implant was lost after 12 months of function following prosthetic rehabilitation. Histological examination revealed new bone formation induced by the graft material. Conclusions: Chairside preparation of autogenous fresh demineralized teeth after extraction can be a useful alternative to the use of autogenous bone or other graft materials for the immediate reconstruction of alveolar bone defects to facilitate subsequent implant placement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous tooth graft materials after maxillary sinus bone grafts. Methods: The study involved 23 implants in 22 patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Department of Periodontics, Chosun University Dental Hospital, in 2008 and received autogenous tooth graft materials for maxillary sinus bone grafts. Results: For eight patients with maxillary bone graft materials prior to implant placement, the healing period averaged five months. For eleven patients with simultaneous maxillary bone graft and implant placement, eight patients received a second surgery, with an average healing time of six months. Three patients had a longer observation period with only a fixture implanted. Three patients who received only a bone graft required more time to implant placement because of the lack of residual bone and also for personal reasons. Only 5 patients had biopsies performed and complications such as infection and dehiscence healed well. The application of autogenous graft materials to the maxillary bone graft sites did not exert any significant effects on the success rates. When a mixture of graft materials was used, the post-surgical bone resorption rate was reduced. Histological analysis showed that new bone formation and remodeling were initiated during the three-to-six month healing period. Bone formation capacity increased continuously up to six months after the maxillary bone graft. Conclusion: According to this analysis, excellent stability and bone-forming capacity were seen in cases where autogenous materials were used alone or mixed with other materials. Autogenous tooth graft materials may be substituted instead of autogenous bones.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the indication. treatment procedure. prognosos and complication of autogenous transplantation in treating impacted teeth of orthodontic patient. Autogenous transplantation is indicated, in cases of rejecting orthodontic treatment due to the visible orthodontic appliance, the relatively long treatment time, unfavorable tooth position for orthodontic repositioning, unrestorable advanced detal caries. advanced periodontitis and ankylosed tooth. Most process related to the decision of the prognosis is dependent on the careful surgical technique. In comparison to other orthodontic and surgical procedure, the application of the autotransplantation is limited, although its success rate is markedly increased today. Therefore we must we must pay attention to the treatment planning and cooperation with other specialties is needed.

The author have been conducting research on the development of biomaterials using human teeth since 1993, and we recently reported the results of several of our advanced studies. Based on previous studies, new bone graft material using autogenous tooth(AutoBT) was developed. The author performed implant placement combined with GBR and sinus bone graft using AutoBT during the period of June 2009 to September 2009. During the postsurgical healing period, clinical and radiological evaluations were performed. For patients who consented to histological testing, tissue samples were obtained and histological examination was performed two months and four months after GBR and four months after sinus bone graft. Serious complications pertinent to bone graft materials were not observed, and it was shown that the level of the crestal bone in the vicinity of implants was relatively well maintained. In histologic examination after two months and four months, favorable new bone formation was observed.
