Summary:Tooth autotransplantation is a tooth replacement treatment modality in which a tooth from an individual is transplanted into another site in the same person. Transplantation of tooth germ with unformed roots or in early stages of root development is seldom practiced even among clinicians who usually practice tooth transplantation. In this paper, we discuss this debatable topic and provide experience-based perspective regarding autologous transplantation of teeth that lack sufficient root length. This paper raises the possibility of performing autotransplantation of donor teeth that were previously considered sub-optimal.
