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