Ghassemi M; Jamilian A; Fritz U; Riediger D; Ghassemi A: Orthodontic treatment after autotransplantation. Angle Orthod. 2011 Jul; 81(4):721-5
Autotransplantation is an alternative method to replace a missing tooth. This study reports a 17-year-old man who had autotransplantation of the left upper third molar with the congenitally missing left lower second premolar. No signs of inflammation, root resorption, ankylosis, mobility, sensitivity, pocket problems, or pulp destructions were found after 2-year follow up. Autotransplantation can lead to shorter treatment time and an improved treatment result in certain cases. It also eliminates the need for implants or prosthetic therapy.
