T
he procedure of transplantation of teeth from one individual to another has
long been discussed in texts as a possible procedure for replacement of
teeth. It, however, didn’t’t gain popularity on grounds of ethical issues and was
also seen to be accompanied with failures like tissue rejection and disease
transmission. To overcome the above mentioned failures, the procedure of
autotransplantation came into view. Autotransplantation is defined as the
surgical movement of a tooth from one position to another, within the same
person. Patient age, donor tooth position, extra oral time, recipient site and
developmental status of donor tooth are some of the prognostic factors were
evaluated during the study. Congenitally absent tooth, losses of maxillary
incisors due to trauma are few of the many indications of autotransplantation.
Advantages include bone induction, preservation of periodontal ligaments, and
normal eruption of tooth. Auto transplantation is, thus, evolving as a treatment
modality in modern dentistry.
