  • Title: Management of a 9-year-old boy experiencing severe dental injury--a 21-year follow-up of three autotransplants: a case report.
    Author: Aas AL, Skaare AB.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2011 Dec; 27(6):468-72. PubMed ID: 21790976.
    Abstract:
    The replacement of missing anterior teeth is a particular challenge in children and adolescents. This report describes the management of a 9-year-old boy suffering a severe dental injury. The treatment included three autotransplantations and orthodontic space closure to replace four maxillary teeth. A follow-up period of 21 years demonstrated a successful outcome. Autotransplantation of premolars in growing individuals is a predictable method for replacement of missing teeth and for re-establishment of the alveolar process after traumatic bone loss. This case report shows that a multidisciplinary approach is essential for the management and outcome of severe dental injuries in children.
