Delayed Autotransplantation of Permanent Impacted Maxillary Canine
Tooth autotransplantation is the extraction of a tooth from one location and its replantation in a different location in the same individual. It provides an alternative approach for treating severely impacted tooth when orthodontic treatment is ineffective. This case report presents a patient with buccally impacted left maxillary canine. Alveolar bone grafting (ABG), autotransplantation and orthodontic treatment were carried out. A 4 month review shows good prognosis of the transplanted tooth with no bone resorption.
