Effect of 3D printed replicas on the duration of third molar autotransplantation surgery: A controlled clinical trial

Background/Aim: This study aimed to develop a protocol that combines cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), software, and 3D printing to design 3D replicas for

tooth autotransplantation. The goal was to evaluate the impact of this approach on the extraoral time of the donor teeth and the total surgical time, thereby enhancing

surgical efficiency and outcomes.
