Abstract :

Tooth transplantation is a method of repositioning autogenous teeth in another tooth extraction site to replace missing teeth, when a suitable donor tooth is available. Autotransplantation has achieved high success rates and is an excellent option for tooth replacement. The indications for autotransplantation are narrow, careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique can lead to exceptionally well esthetic and functional results. This procedure is advantageous since the placement of an implant–supported prosthesis or any other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is eliminated. This case report is an example of a success and failure of tooth autotransplantation
