AUTOTRANSPLANTES DENTAL: uma alternativa viável ao SUS

Abstract

Introduction: autogenous dental transplantation has shown promise in the rehabilitation of teeth lost or unrecoverable by a germ or vital tooth.This technique provides the translocation of dental elements in spaces in the arch seeking to restore the stomatognathic system through the surgical repositioning of viable dental elements from their place of origin to another alveolar site. The Unified Health System (SUS) includes the method as a procedure of surgery and traumatology in the perspective of reusing a tooth. Objective: to analyze through national and foreing literature techniques and procedures for dental autotransplantation. Method:integrative literature review, using Boolean operators, in PubMed (Medline), Scielo and Google Scholar databases referring to the last 10 years (2012-2022), with studies that presented dental autotransplantation procedures as a central theme being considered eligible, sample number from 10 patients older than eight years and a follow-up period of more than one year. Literature review articles and animal studies were excluded from the study. Results: after applying the eligibility criteria, fifteen articles were considered for the present study. The total number of cases evaluated was 1048 patients, aged between 8 and 58 years and with a follow-up period of 1 to 29 years. The average success rate was 86.79%. Conclusion: dental transplantation has high success rates, proving to be an excellent, low-cost therapeutic option that should be encouraged in the Unified Health System (SUS).
