Autotransplanted teeth in the maxillary anterior region should be restored or reshaped as soon as possible for functional and esthetic reasons as well as the well-being of the patient. However, such tooth restorations are frequently not carried out immediately after tooth transplantation because the process could have a negative impact on the healing process. The development of a simple, immediate, and atraumatic esthetic interim restoration would be of great benefit to both the clinician and patient and address all the concerns caused by immediately preparing the tooth postoperatively and cementing a permanent restoration. This report describes the use of CAD-CAM technology to create poly (methyl methacrylate) veneers preoperatively that can be cemented extraorally on the extracted donor tooth for the immediate and interim recontouring of autotransplanted anterior teeth.
