Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. A 9-year-old girl had transplanted a developing upper left second premolar to replace the traumatically lost maxillary right central incisor (A, B). The transplanted premolar was rotated during transplantation to better match the width of the neighboring central incisor. The composite build-up was made 1 year after transplantation and the orthodontic treatment was started to align teeth and establish a normal occlusion (C, D). Normal root development of the transplanted premolar and no hard tissue pathology was present on the intraoral radiograph, except for the pulp obliteration, which is a normal finding in transplanted teeth with developing roots, without a need for endodontic treatment (E).
Figure 2
Figure 2. Congenitally missing lower second premolar on the right side was seen during radiographic examination of an 11-year-old boy with Class II division 2 malocclusion and maxillary crowding (A). The roots of the primary second molar at the site of the missing premolar were short. The treatment plan included transplantation of the developing upper right second premolar (arrow) to the position of the congenitally missing mandibular premolar, followed by the fixed appliance treatment to close the extraction space and establish normal overjet and overbite. The transplanted premolar (arrow) erupted spontaneously in the oral cavity six months after transplantation from the subgingival position after surgery (B, C). The fixed appliances were bonded two years after transplantation and eruption of all permanent teeth. Normal tooth contacts were established after orthodontic treatment and overjet and overbite were corrected (D, E). Pulp obliteration and no hard tissue pathology were present at the transplanted premolar (F).
Figure 3
Figure 3. The ectopic position of the developing mandibular right second premolar was present on the panoramic radiograph of a 12-years old girl, who was seeking orthodontic treatment due to malposition of her maxillary teeth and Class II malocclusion (A). The premolar was severely distally tilted and the patient and her parents were interested to perform surgical uprighting (trans-alveolar transplantation) of the affected tooth instead of orthodontic extrusion to shorten the treatment time. The transplanted tooth erupted after few weeks into an oral cavity (B, C) and an orthodontic bracket was bonded after eruption into contacts with the opposing premolars. Normal occlusion was established after orthodontic treatment including the transplanted premolar (D, E; arrow). The root of the transplanted premolar continued development after surgery (arrow), but remained somehow shorter than normal (F). Pulp obliteration and normal hard periodontal tissues are also present on the radiograph.
