The tooth-bone-cylinder complex is removed from the cheek and inserted into the eye, the mucosal cheek lining is replaced over the implant. At the end of the procedure, light can now enter through the plastic cylinder, and the patient is able to see through this cylinder with good vision.
The tooth could then be replaced with a dental implant. Alternatively, orthodontic extrusion can be used to achieve crown lengthening. Using brackets, light forces can be used to pull the tooth away from the gums within a few months. A fiberotomy is performed after crown lengthening and is easily performed by the general dentist.
The material is also more technique-forgiving compared to composite restorations used for that purpose. Dental amalgam is also radiopaque which is beneficial for differentiating the material between tooth tissues on radiographs for diagnosing secondary caries. The cost of the restoration is typically cheaper than composite restorations.
Alveolar bone resorption is a common side effect of tooth removal (extraction) due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or infection that limits dental implant placement. Surgical bone augmentation is associated with limitations such as high cost, bone graft rejection or failure, pain, infection, and the addition of 6–12 months to the treatment ...
It has been suggested that tooth autotransplantation may be a successful alternative to osseointergrated dental implants in growing patients, as osseointergrated dental implants are contra indicated in growing patients as they do not grow down with the developing dentition and become fused to the bone.

By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready ...
Another disadvantage is the long healing and recovery time(> 2 months). In these cases, the best method is the Syme procedure, that means total nail matrix removal + skin flap transfer + phalanx partial osteotomy + stitching. [citation needed]
In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Some dentists will also finish root canal treatment by covering the exposed tooth with a crown.
