Abstract
AbstractTooth loss is an adverse consequence of oral diseases and traumatic dental injuries. Although several treatment options exist to treat a missing or hopeless tooth, especially in young individuals, most of the existing alternatives (such as orthodontic treatment, removable or fixed partial dentures, and dental implants) impose a challenge in children due to the nature of the developing jaw bones. Tooth autotransplantation is the replacement of a tooth with another functional tooth within the patient's dentition. Autotransplantation can serve as a promising treatment alternative in cases of tooth loss not only in children and adolescents but also in adult patients. Autotransplantation is a technique‐sensitive procedure, that requires proper and thorough planning as well as careful and knowledgeable execution in order to improve the chances for long‐term success and survival of the transplanted tooth. Thus, the aim of this article was to provide a step‐by‐step clinical guide, emphasizing key points and highlights for planning and performing a successful autotransplantation procedure. Autotransplantation is a very predictable treatment modality that can serve as a viable option to replace a missing tooth, especially in young patients. Proper planning and careful execution of the procedure are important to achieve optimal long‐term results.
