Although this procedure might pose more intraoperative challenges, it provides a great solution for replacing missing teeth or aiding difficult eruption in young patients. This prospective method is also advocated as a use of treatment for unrestorable teeth. The success rates of autotransplantation cases with and without replicas were compared in a retrospective analysis of the data. By reducing donor tooth manipulation and ensuring a proper fit and positioning in the recipient socket, replicas significantly increased success rates of the procedure. CBCT scans were used to collect data. Data exported to the Mimics system were then processed in order to achieve a model of the donor tooth. Additive manufacturing technology was used to create the replicas. Specialized biocompatible material was used. Details of the replantation site and the donor tooth requirements were described, as well as the step-by-step surgical technique. For the best results, variables, like patient selection, surgical technique, and long-term monitoring, were found to be essential. The study highlights the significance of dental professionals and biomedical engineering staff working together to develop standard operating procedures and achieve predictable outcomes in autotransplantation procedures. The results suggest that 3D printed replicas could be a useful tool for improving the effectiveness and success of dental autotransplantation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering10091058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,8]],"date-time":"2023-09-08T07:52:11Z","timestamp":1694159531000},"page":"1058","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Dental Auto Transplantation Success Rate Increases by Utilizing 3D Replicas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Peter","family":"Kizek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7520-8955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcel","family":"Riznic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Branislav","family":"Borza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lubos","family":"Chromy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Measurement, Faculty of Engineering, TUKE, 04200 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karolina Kamila","family":"Glinska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuzana","family":"Kotulicova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jozef","family":"Jendruch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery, UNLP, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radovan","family":"Hudak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Measurement, Faculty of Engineering, TUKE, 04200 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"Schnitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Measurement, Faculty of Engineering, TUKE, 04200 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(70)90143-X","article-title":"The Replantation and Transplantation of Teeth.
