ABSTRACT
Autogenous tooth transplantation is one of the methods of multidisciplinary treatment used
in growing patients with congenital absence of tooth germs or traumatic loss of teeth. Many
years of clinical trials have shown that tooth autotransplantation procedures can stimulate
bone formation ensuring proper growth of the alveolar process in the recipient site. The most
common donors are premolars with incomplete root development. Treatment is carried out by
an orthodontic and surgical team. In the case of adolescent patients who underwent autogenous
tooth transplantation and orthodontic and surgical treatment was completed, it is necessary
to perform aesthetic reconstruction of the transplanted tooth clinical crown with the use
of veneers. Another method is the correction and individualization of the shape of the donor’s
clinical crown to the insertion site, at the stage of aligning the teeth with a fixed appliance, taking
into account the axis of the transplanted tooth and the shape and width of the homonymous tooth
in the arch.
