Autogenous Tooth Transplantation: Better Way of Replacement: Review and Case Report

Abstract

Ahmed Khan

Autotransplantation provides the possibility of a natural tooth rather than a prothesis or an osseointegrated implant to replace a missing tooth. The indications for autotransplantation are wide, but careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique is a prerequisite for a good functional and esthetic outcome. Autogenous tooth transplantation is the surgical movement of a tooth from one location in the mouth to another in the same individual. It has achieved high success rates and is an excellent option for tooth replacement. This paper describes the review on autogenous tooth transplantation and also highlights the advantages of autotransplantation using a case report as an example.
