Yangcheng Evening News reporter Zhang Hua and correspondent Guo Qianqian reported: Recently, Mr. Zhang, who was treated at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, was "lucky" because of an unextracted wisdom tooth in his mouth - no need for an implant after the big tooth rotted out teeth, but implanted with their own wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth still have such uses, what is going on?

　　Recently, Mr. Zhang from Guangzhou came to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou Medical University Affiliated Stomatological Hospital because of a broken tooth. The next time I eat, my tooth hurts." Director Zhou Libin examined him and found that the collapsed lower right posterior tooth was a cavity, which had "rotted through the bottom", and more than half of the teeth were split after biting on a hard object. It cannot be rescued with treatment, only extraction.

　　Fortunately, Director Zhou Libin found that Mr. Zhang has a wisdom tooth that matches the shape of the rotten tooth, and can do autologous tooth transplantation - after the rotten tooth is extracted, the wisdom tooth will be transplanted into the extraction socket to replace the original rotten tooth.

After listening to the doctor's detailed introduction, Mr. Zhang decided to perform autologous tooth transplantation.

　　After one visit, the autologous tooth transplant was completed within 1-2 hours. Mr. Zhang's transplant went smoothly.

Two months later, Mr. Zhang returned to the hospital to remove the fixation device between the transplanted tooth and the adjacent tooth.

"The teeth are quite stable, and X-ray examination shows that new bone has formed around the transplanted wisdom teeth." In this way, Mr. Zhang obtained a tooth that is both an "old tooth" and a "new tooth".

　　I had no idea that wisdom teeth could be so useful!

So should wisdom teeth be removed?

　　Director Zhou Libin said that if the recurrent inflammation of wisdom teeth cannot be cured, or has threatened the health of adjacent teeth, it is recommended to extract them in time.

For fully erupted, asymptomatic, and harmless wisdom teeth, retention is recommended.

Once needed, you can come on the bench to replace the extracted tooth and achieve a "tooth attack".
