Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Surgery

Background:

Tooth autotransplantation involves moving a tooth within the same individual.
It is a viable option for adolescents with congenitally missing or compromised teeth.

Observation:

Successful autotransplantation of immature teeth preserves periodontal function, proprioception, and alveolar bone.
Even if autotransplanted teeth fail, the site remains favorable for future implant treatment.

Findings:

Tooth autotransplantation is underutilized due to its technique-sensitive nature.
Careful case selection and surgical expertise are crucial for success.

Implications:

Three-dimensional computed tomography and rapid prototyping can improve the predictability of tooth autotransplantation.
This case series aims to increase awareness of autotransplantation's value in managing missing or compromised posterior teeth.
