Overview

The aim of this study is to show the experience with autotransplanted 3D model development and its use during surgery. The development of a 3D model has undergone three phases: building the virtual model, 3D printing and finally sterilisation. A 37-year-old female patient was recommended to our department for treatment of the 2^nd quadrant. After planning the extraction of 26, 27 and consequently autotransplantation of tooth 28 was decided. According to CBCT data, two 3D models of the autotransplanted tooth were built and plasma sterilisation was done. After extraction of 26 and 27, a tooth cavity was prepared for the 3D model phantom and the autotransplantation was finished; extra alveolar time of tooth 28 was only 21 seconds. Healing period had no adverse problems and the patient was very satisfied with the result. Autotransplantation is one of the possible choices when treating malformation or tooth loss. The use of a 3D phantom during surgery leads to shortening of surgery time, thus lowering the risk of periodontal tissue damage by repeated testing of the right size of the tooth position and size.
