Kids' lost front teeth replaced by their own premolars in new study

NCT ID NCT07314580

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether moving a premolar (a back tooth) to replace a lost front tooth works well in children aged 7 to 15. Researchers will track 50 patients for up to 5 years, checking tooth survival, healing, and how satisfied the kids are. The goal is to see if this natural tooth transplant is a good option for young people with tooth loss from injury or decay.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Premolar autotransplantation (a surgical procedure to move a premolar tooth to replace a missing front tooth)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that moving a premolar is a reliable, long-lasting way to replace a lost front tooth in growing children, avoiding bridges or implants.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove the procedure is better than other options. Results depend on careful patient selection and surgical skill, and complications like root resorption or infection are possible.
