    Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the influential factors for choosing dentistry, their thoughts about the profession, their expectations for the future and their thoughts about the specialisation of dental students from all grades in the School of Dentistry, Marmara University. Materials and Methods: Socio-demographic information, influential factors the choice of profession, thoughts and expectations about dentistry, and thoughts about the specialisation were evaluated in the questionnaire that included different question types in four separate sections. Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between categorical variables, and multiple linear regression was performed to examine the combined effects of variables that influence the always dream of becoming a dentist. Results: 462 of the 471 participants from all grades who agreed to participate in the study completed the questionnaire with a response rate of 98.1%. It was seen that the students' clinical experience made differences in almost half of their motivational sources for choosing dentistry and their views on future opinions and expectations (p <.05). In addition to clinical experience, gender also made a statistically significant differences in almost all answers in the students' opinions about specialisation (p <.05). Conclusion: From the results of the study, the majority of Turkish dental students were self-motivated compared to familial and environmental factors for choosing dentistry as a career. The career motivations of them seemed to be associated with the socioeconomic aspects of dentistry, whereas the perceptions regarding the future of dentistry seemed to be associated with the need for postgraduate education.

    Nine-year Follow-up of Autotransplantation in the Maxillary Anterior Region: Replacing a Fused Incisor with a Supernumerary Tooth
    (Elsevier Inc., 2025) Sezer, Berkant; Şen Yavuz, Betül; Korkut, Bora; Menteş, Ali
    The goal of tooth autotransplantation is to restore a missing tooth by using a functional tooth from the same patient. Although this procedure is gaining more recognition as a viable treatment option in dentistry, it is important to monitor and report long-term results. This case report presents the long-term follow-up of a fused maxillary central incisor that was extracted and replaced with a supernumerary tooth. Although the donor tooth displayed favorable characteristics, including an intact periodontal ligament and minimal extraoral time, which contributed to the success of the transplantation, it also presented certain disadvantages, such as having a fully developed root apex. Over a 9-year follow-up period, no clinical symptoms indicative of functional failure were observed. However, external cervical root resorption, first detected at the 6-year follow-up, progressed by the ninth year. Despite the lack of clinical symptoms, radiographic findings suggested that the root resorption was a significant concern. This case underscores the potential for long-term success of autotransplanted teeth, even in complex scenarios involving fused teeth. However, it also highlights the importance of thorough, long-term monitoring to detect complications such as root resorption. The findings suggest that, while autotransplantation can offer favorable outcomes, careful management and periodic evaluations are essential to ensure the longevity of the transplanted tooth. © 2025 American Association of Endodontists
