Abstract

Orthodontic closure and autotransplantation of teeth are valid treatment alternatives for young individuals with missing anterior teeth. These alternatives have, however, different indications and the choice should be based upon a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of the individual. Problems and limitations should be emphasized before treatment in order for the patient to have realistic expectations. The treatment plan will ultimately result from an evaluation of short- and long-term biologic and esthetic considerations. Indications, treatment principles and key factors in the treatment procedure are outlined in this overview. If transplantation is to be part of the treatment plan, the donor tooth which has the best prognosis should be selected.
