Abstract

Autotransplantation can be a viable alternative to dental implant placement for partially edentulous patients when case selection and surgical procedures are performed properly. Moreover, in the event of a failed autotransplantation, implant placement may still be possible. Autotransplantation offers several benefits compared with dental implants, however the surgical procedure is technique sensitive. This case report demonstrates the clinical steps and healing process of an autotransplanted third molar tooth with complete root formation with a 4-year follow-up.
