Abstract
Autotransplant is a viable treatment option when faced with managing a space due to a missing or unerupted tooth. The procedure is less commonly today than in the compared to the past due to the advent of dental implants, however, the latter is not a viable option in the paediatric and adolescent population until the age of 18. Prior to this age, autotransplant is an ideal option either primarily or secondary due to failure of orthodontic management.1,2 The advantages of autotransplant include immediate space filling and maintenance as well as preservation of hard and soft tissue. The general consensus following an autotransplant is that the tooth should undergo root canal therapy (RCT) however the evidence is scant on the issue. This study aimed to review the long-term outcome of autotransplanted teeth and the need for RCT.
