| Summary: | Whenever unrestorable teeth need to be extracted or tooth agenesis is evident, other treatment alternatives, such as tooth transplantation, should be considered, instead of immediately replacing teeth with fixed, removable, or implant-supported prostheses. Supernumerary and impacted teeth should be considered as a reservoir for transplants. Transplanted tooth should be managed carefully during transplantation and endodontic treatment. This present case report discusses an autotransplantation of an impacted third molar into an unrestorable second molar. |
