Root resorption in autotransplanted maxillary canine teeth

The results of the endodontic management of root resorption in 77 transplanted teeth are described. Apical bony radiolucency healed in 75 per cent of cases but the prognosis for root resorption was poorer; in only 34 per cent of cases was the resorption arrested. Various factors which might have influenced the outcome of treatment are discussed.
