Study of 3D-Printed Tooth Replicas for Autotransplantation in Children and Young Adults Aged 9 to 23

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the usefulness of 3D-printed tooth replicas combined with autotransplantation of teeth in children and young adults who need tooth transplantation. This study is designed to compare the 3D generated tooth replicas with the conventional methods to see if the new technology improves the surgical process and success of tooth transplantation. The study is led by Turku University Hospital and includes participants aged 9 to 23 years. Participants will undergo tooth autotransplantation surgery using either a 3D-printed tooth replica or a conventional procedure. Researchers will evaluate factors such as the duration of surgery and the degree of manipulation needed during the transplant procedure. They will also assess how well the transplanted tooth erupts and develops its roots over time. Participants will be followed for one year after surgery. During this time, clinical and radiological examinations will be performed to determine the health of the transplanted teeth. The main outcomes measured include the number of patients with healthy transplanted teeth at one year. This monitoring will help researchers understand the effectiveness of using 3D replicas in tooth autotransplantation.
