A sample of patients with palatally displaced cuspids and a sample of subjects with normally erupted maxillary cuspids were examined as far as arch dimention and tooth size are concerned.
A method to prepare and test the fitness of the alveolus in the jaw before transplantation of teeth is carried out. An impacted canine from a 30-year-old woman was extracted and stored in tissue culture for 3 weeks. The tooth was then transferred to a semisolid tissue culture medium for preparing an artificial alveolus. Methylacrylate was then poured into the alvelous and was left to solidify at room temperature. Thereafter the root model was removed from the medium and a screw was fixed in the upper part. This root model was used in testing the fitness of the prepared alveolus before the root was transplanted. The advantage of the technique is that the reproduction of the root could replace the transplant during the fitting procedure to avoid damage to the periodontal membrane.
A modified technique for the transplantation of teeth from one region of the mouth to another and for the transalveolar transplantation of impacted teeth to more favourable positions is presented. The surgical method is such that there is minimal damage to the tooth. To achieve this a substantial amount of bone may need to be removed. The fixation method is based on an orthodontic appliance and has the character of stabilization more than firm fixation. In this way it is possible to transplant teeth, even to difficult positions in adults, with very good results.
