[The periodontal ligament as a driver of dentoalveolar regeneration].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde · Barendregt DS, Leunisse M, Eggink E · 2026-10-06

The periodontal ligament continuously remodels and regenerates the supporting tissues around teeth through coordinated bone-building and bone-resorbing processes. When teeth are autotransplanted, preserving the periodontal ligament's vitality enables predictable regeneration of bone and periodontal structures, making autotransplantation a viable tooth replacement option.
