Systematic review investigates orthodontic movement timing's impact on autotransplanted teeth outcomes, suggesting further research is needed.
Background: Tooth autotransplantation is one of the treatment options to compensate for tooth loss with the advantage of preserving alveolar bone volume and interdental papilla. Several studies have investigated the influence of orthodontic movement timing on autotransplanted teeth with different prognosis outcomes. Thus, the aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effect of orthodontic movement time on autotransplanted teeth outcomes. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out on PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane databases for English articles with no limitations in the year of publication. Eligible articles were included for data retrieval, followed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for the risk of bias assessment. Results: A total of five articles have met the inclusion criteria. The initiation of orthodontic movement timing has varied among the included studies between 4 and 8 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, and 3-9 months with different findings. Conclusions: Autotransplanted teeth that have received orthodontic forces showed integrity in the periodontium. However, the effect of orthodontic initiation time was controversial, and further clinical studies are warranted.
