What is the tooth transplant?

Tooth transplantation is the tooth extraction and reimplantation of this tooth to another location. It is rare to carry out transplantation from one mouth to another mouth, and most transplants are called autotransplants and includes removal and transplantation of the tooth into the same mouth. The purpose of the tooth transplant is to replace the tooth lost due to the decay or trauma or fill the gap in the mouth. Most of the transplanted teeth are wisdom teeth, the third stools located in the back of the mouth that appear at the age of 17 to 25 years and must usually be extracted because they push other teeth from the position or are unable to break through the rubber because there is not enough room.

Technique for tooth transplantation begins with the evaluation of the tooth health to be transplanted and a place for transplantation. If the tooth and rubber are strong and sound, X -rays or two -dimensional images called orthopantomographs are taken from the tooth, toTerý is to be extracted and images are used to prepare a tooth replica. This copy of the tooth to be extracted is used to prepare a transplant and dental socket. Furthermore, the tooth to be transplanted, carefully extracted and re -implanted in the prepared drawer and sometimes is triggered or tied to adjacent teeth for stability. After teeth transplantation, the patient will have to eat a soft or liquid diet and avoid the use of the implanted tooth for many days while the area is recovered.

Tooth transplantation will only succeed if the rubber and the tooth are very healthy. A healthy tooth does not survive transplantation and the sick rubber does not grow to support the tooth. In addition to prospering the transplanted tooth, the tooth must have at least half its root before transplantation, it must be the right shape and size for the new site and cannot be significantly damaged during extraction.

After teeth transplantation, the patient must monitor the transplantation for signs of infection such as pain, excessive swelling and fever.If it is not treated immediately, the infection may disrupt the success of transplantation. In addition, the nerve of the transplanted tooth cannot be re -attached to send pain signals at the break -up, so the transplanted tooth must be carefully monitored on the cavities.
