Autogenous wisdom tooth transplantation in young patients
First permanent molars are most likely to be affected by dental diseases because of early exposure to the oral environment and poor condition and an unfavorable long-term prognosis may require its extraction in later life. In such cases, past reports suggested that autogenous tooth transplantation using impacted wisdom tooth is effective.
Introduction
Tooth auto-transplantation is a technique used to reposition an autogenously, partially, or unerupted tooth from one side to the other. It is a valuable treatment option for replacing a missing tooth or one that requires extraction due to dental caries, periodontal disease, or other condition [1,2].
