ABSTRACT
Treatments for restoring the function and esthetics of missing teeth include fixed bridge, partial denture, orthodontic movement, implantation and autotransplantation. However, there is no absolute indications for each techniques. Due to undevelopment of root and root resorption after autotransplantation, the success rate of autotrans-plantation over the past decades have been low. Recently. with the study on biological principles of the healing of periodontal ligament, the success rate of autotransplantation began to improve. We report the cases of successful autotransplantation which resulted in ideal healing of periodontal ligament, gingiva and alveolar bone.
