Title: Tooth Autotransplantation and Intentional Replantation: Expanding the Limits of Biological Treatment Options

Abstract:
Tooth autotransplantation and intentional replantation are biologically based treatment modalities that provide long-term functional and esthetic outcomes while preserving natural teeth.

Advances in digital planning, 3D printing, and minimally invasive surgical protocols have significantly improved the predictability and clinical acceptance of these procedures.

This lecture will address the biological foundations, clinical indications, and decision-making process for tooth transplantation and replantation, supported by evidence-based outcomes and illustrative clinical cases.

The integration of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), surgical guides, and novel restorative approaches will also be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on case selection, surgical technique, postoperative management, and long-term prognosis to highlight the potential of these procedures in modern restorative and endodontic practice.
