Case of tooth autotransplantation with robotic surgery assistance

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2025.2024469

Abstract

Abstract:

Tooth autotransplantation is a restoration technology that grafts the patient’s own teeth to the missing tooth area, usually by using the third molar to replace a nonnormally functioning molar for the purpose of “turning waste into treasure”. Robotic surgical assistance has been widely used in the fields of breast cancer, liver cancer, and orthopedics; however, its application in the dental field, particularly in tooth autotransplantation, remains relatively rare. This paper reports a case of tooth autotransplantation with the assistance of a domestic autonomous oral surgery robot, providing a reference for the application of robotic surgery assistance in tooth autotransplantation.

Key words: tooth autotransplantation, robotic surgery, robotic surgery assistance technology, precision medicine
