Mitsuhiro Tsukiboshi in Tallinn

"Dental trauma and Autotransplantation"

We are delighted to annouce an International in-person event by the one of the most famous specialists in the world in dental trauma and autotransplantation - Dr. Mitsuhiro Tsukiboshi from Japan. Presenting for the very first time in the Baltics!

Treatment planning for traumatized teeth

Dental trauma is an acute disease involving the hard tissues, the pulp, and or the periodontium, and is more frequently seen in young people. Since infection is seldom associated with traumatized teeth, treatment options can be conservative. In other words, in dental trauma, pulpotomy is preferred over pulpectomy, simple composite restorations over complex prosthetics, and replantation over extraction.

The concept of "minimal intervention" should be upheld when treating traumatized teeth. In my presentation, participants will realize the beauty of natural dentition treated by the above concepts.

Autotransplantation of teeth

Complex treatment plans in implant often include situations where the choices of autotransplantation of teeth have been overlooked. If recipient sites are jeopardized for placing implants, more time, cost and techniques are required. However, if there is a good candidate as a donor tooth found in the same mouth, transplantation can be a more appropriate option than implant.

For example, the case where sinus lifting or ridge augmentation is indicated can be preferable and advantageous for autotransplantation. If patients are younger than twenty, implant is hardly indicated. The advantages over implant, indications and techniques for success will be discussed in this presentation. The lecture will be extensively illustrated with many clinical cases of autotransplantation of teeth and participants will realize the efficacy of transplant.
