Abstract
The tooth autotransplantation is currently considered as a reliable method of replacing a lost tooth, especially in young individuals. In these persons, due to skeletal growth, conventional dental implants cannot be used, which have a negative impact on the growth of the alveolus and jaw at the anchorage. In contrast, the use of own teeth allows uninterrupted growth of both the alveolus and the jaw, and the fully integrated autograft behaves similarly to a naturally grown tooth in that location. This case report shows the use of autotransplantation for upper canine retention and subsequent replacement of the upper molar with a lower molar.
