A case report of immediate autotransplanted teeth: 2-year follow-up

Autotransplantation is the removal of tissue or an organ from an area of a living being's body and its transplantation to another area in the same body. Autotransplantation plays a key role in replacing missing teeth of young patients since this procedure has many advantages compared to fixed prosthesis and implant applications in individuals of developmental age. General indications for autotransplantation are periodontal causes and tooth loss that cannot be restored due to caries or trauma. On the other hand, external root resorption and dentoalveolar ankylosis are the most common complications of auto -transplantation. Autotransplantation is a treatment method that can result in a high success rate when attention is paid to the necessary prognostic factors.
