Autogenous transplantation of teeth – A literature review

Autotransplantation has been long looked past, as clinicians have chosen implants and other fixed prostheses for restorative treatment. It gives the practitioner as well as the patient a chance to replace their unsalvageable teeth with their very own donor tooth. The process is demanding and requires skill to select the appropriate case and formulate a treatment plan to carry it out successfully. The present article aims to provide an overview of autogenous transplantation, criteria for case selection, indications, contraindications, the surgical procedure, and their success rate.
