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.
Manfred Leunisse started his dental training at the University of Amsterdam in 1982 and graduated in 1987. In 1989 he started his post graduate education in orthodontics at ACTA also in Amsterdam. He finished his post graduate training in 1993. Then he started a private orthodontic practice in Rotterdam. Next to his orthodontic practice he lectures and gives courses for dentists and oral hygienists. The last 19 years his interest has shifted to treatment of patients based on an interdisciplinary team-approach with dentists, periodontologists, endodontologist, restorative dentists, oral surgeons and lab technicians. His fields of interest are dental traumatology, tooth wear and congenital dental abnormalities. The last years he also publishes articles and book chapters with the above mentioned colleagues.
