Abstract

Transplantation of one's own teeth from one site to another is called dental autotransplantation. The role of autotransplantation of teeth in several clinical situations, the clinical techniques involved and factors influencing success of the transplant are discussed. Autotransplantation of impacted or retained teeth is an appropriate treatment, if orthodontic traction has failed, especially in growing patients.
