Abstract

One of the methods for restoring the integrity of dental arches is tooth autotransplantation and immediate dental implantation. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in the alveolar ridge following these treatment approaches in a comparative aspect. The results demonstrated that third molar autotransplantation is associated with a less pronounced reduction in alveolar ridge dimensions compared to immediate dental implantation. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of soft tissue contours and enhances aesthetic outcomes. These findings confirm the effectiveness of autotransplantation as a predictable method of tooth restoration, particularly in cases where maintaining alveolar ridge parameters is crucial for achieving an optimal aesthetic result.

Key words:

autotransplantation, immediate dental implantation, alveolar ridge changes, stereolithographic model, atrophy of the tooth socket
