Abstract:
Modifications in the surgical procedure for transplantation of the unerupted mandibular third molar to the first molar socket are presented, and the clinical and radiographic data on ten cases with a 3-year follow-up are described. The proposed method of treatment makes it possible to stabilize the transplant without a splint by using a suture crossed over the occlusal surface of the tooth.
