To determine the success rate in autotransplantation of endodontically treated third molars. A descriptive study. This study was carried out at Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry (AFID), Rawalpindi (Pakistan) from January 2002 to December 2002. A total of 50 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were selected who had their first or second molars in unrestorable condition with intact third molars. The donor teeth were extracted after the preparation of recipient site. After endodontically treated in vitro the donor teeth were carried to the recipient site and immobilized. Postoperative variables were recorded and analyzed on SPSS version 10. The overall success rate after six months of the transplantation of third molars was 88% with complete root formation after endodontic treatment. All the patients(12%) who had complaints were more than 35 years of age. Third molars are good substitute for the unrestorable first or second molars and would be as effective as endosseous implants. The procedure is likely to have complications in the advanced age group.
