Treatment by Preplanned Virtual Autotransplantation of a Microdont Immature Third Molar to a Maxillary Central Incisor Socket Using a 3D Printed Tooth Replica: A Case Report

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An 18‐year‐old female patient presented to emergency dental clinic for avulsion of maxillary left central incisor (#21) in a car accident. In the presence of an immature left maxillary microdontic third molar (#28), a preplanned virtual autotransplantation using an implant planification software was chosen to replace #21.

Effect of Biomechanical Properties of Perioral Soft Tissues on Lip Response to Simulated Protraction of Upper Front Teeth

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Proclination of front teeth in orthodontics and oral rehabilitation may influence lip protrusion and the overall facial profile. We hypothesized that the degree of profile changes is determined by the biomechanical properties of the lips. Objectives (1) to investigate the upper lip changes induced by a simulated protraction of upper
