For functional and esthetic reasons, it is important to restore or reshape autotransplanted teeth in the maxillary anterior region as soon as possible. However, immediate restorations are often not done due to potential negative impact on the healing process. This report introduces the use of CAD-CAM technology to create preoperative PMMA veneers for immediate and interim recontouring of autotransplanted anterior teeth.
Autotransplanted teeth in the maxillary anterior region should be restored or reshaped as soon as possible for functional and esthetic reasons as well as the well-being of the patient. However, such tooth restorations are frequently not carried out immediately after tooth transplantation because the process could have a negative impact on the healing process. The development of a simple, immediate, and atraumatic esthetic interim restoration would be of great benefit to both the clinician and patient and address all the concerns caused by immediately preparing the tooth postoperatively and cementing a permanent restoration. This report describes the use of CAD-CAM technology to create poly (methyl methacrylate) veneers preoperatively that can be cemented extraorally on the extracted donor tooth for the immediate and interim recontouring of autotransplanted anterior teeth.
