The prognosis of autotransplanted tooth on molar region : 5 years follow up cases

Abstract

Tooth autotransplantation is the transplantation of embedded, impacted, or erupted teeth from one site to surgically prepared sockets or extraction sites within the same individual. Tooth autotransplantation is a valuable method to replace missing teeth, instead of other procedures like dental implants or prosthetic replacements. Discrimination of indication and consideration of delicate factors affecting the results is important to success in the procedure. This study reports a 5 year clinical observation of two different cases.
