Abstract

Autotransplantation as one of the possible solutions to increase efficacy and efficiency in the treatment of impacted canines with a high degree of difficulty

by Alberti Andrea

The presentation will provide the clinical and scientific criteria to help define the degree of difficulty of a possible repositioning therapy in case of impacted elements, especially the canines. Subsequently, the selection criteria that make an element eligible for autotransplantation and those that definitively exclude it from this possibility will be shown. Numerous exemplary clinical cases will be shown to clarify the decision-making and clinical flow of orthodontic treatments of canines with a high degree of difficulty aimed at the autotransplantation technique, emphasizing the clinical precautions that decrease the risks and increase the chances of success. The aim of this presentation is therefore to provide an extra weapon in the management of very complex problems which, if faced in the traditional way, could lead to failures from a clinical point of view, or to excessively long treatments such as to determine a very bad experience therapy by the patient.
