What if the best dental implant is… another tooth?

Dental autotransplantation offers a unique opportunity to replace missing teeth with a patient’s own biological tissue—restoring function and esthetics while maintaining alveolar bone and periodontal integrity. Dr. Dick Barendregt (Rotterdam, Netherlands) presents the surgical and periodontal aspects of autotransplantation, emphasizing case selection, surgical protocols, and long-term outcomes grounded in biological precision and innovation.

Complementing this perspective, Dr. John Christensen (Durham, NC), a pediatric dentist and orthodontist, discusses the interdisciplinary coordination required to optimize results. Topics include orthodontic preparation, root development considerations, and restorative strategies for functional and esthetic integration.

Presented by DOCS Education, this course demonstrates how collaborative planning transforms dental autotransplantation into a predictable, regenerative treatment option for growing patients.

Course Objectives:

  • Identify appropriate cases for dental autotransplantation and determine when this solution is indicated.
  • Review step-by-step surgical and periodontal protocols that maximize transplant survival and integration.
  • Apply orthodontic strategies for donor site preparation and optimal timing.
  • Evaluate restorative considerations for long-term function, esthetics, and harmony with natural dentition.
  • Understand the impact of interdisciplinary collaboration among surgeons, orthodontists, endodontists, and restorative dentists.
