Biography
Biography: Manfred Leunisse
Abstract
Transplantation of teeth has a very long history, what started as intentional replantation with the pharaohs became autotransplantation in the 1950 in Denmark and Norway.
In 2004 we started to transplant premolars in Rotterdam. We evaluated our treatment results, as a team and came to a successful guideline for this procedure. This guideline modified during the first 17 years of transplantation. The premolars we transplanted to the posterior region during this period were evaluated to establish the guideline to maximize the success.
Indication, diagnosis and treatment planning will be discussed illustrated by a case and the results of our recent study.
