RESUMO
A patient with mutilated dentition was treated to an acceptable result with the help of mini-implants for anchorage, autotransplantation of 2 teeth, one dental implant, and multiple prostheses. The major problems for this mutilated dentition were multiple missing teeth, bite collapse with posterior crossbites, deepbite with a canted gummy smile, and severe skeletal discrepancy of maxillary protrusion and mandibular retrusion. Mini-implant anchorage was applied to retract and intrude the maxillary arch to reduce the protrusion and rotate the mandible counterclockwise to improve the chin projection. Two autotransplantations, one dental implant, and multiple prostheses were used to accomplish a satisfactory full mouth rehabilitation with an interdisciplinary approach, including orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, and implantology. The understanding of biological principles, improvement in surgical protocol makes it possible to preserve the periodontal ligament (PDL) cells with atraumatic extraction after loosening the donor with orthodontic force and reduce the extraoral time with the 3-dimensional print-out replica segmented from cone-beam computed tomography for trying fitness. Soft wire splinting to gain initial stabilization and root canal treatment to avoid endotoxin further reduce the risk of root resorption, loss of attachment, and ankylosis. Autotransplantation could be considered as a part of full mouth rehabilitation. Orthodontic space management is also an important procedure to confirm the site of dental implant installation in the interdisciplinary collaboration.
