also been used in adults with good results. This surgical technique consists of transplanting a tooth from one site into another in the same individual, involving the transfer of impacted or erupted teeth to extraction sites or prepared surgical sites. This case report describes a successful case of a 12 years-old patient with no medical history of interest, treated with two autotransplantation of open-apex third molars (No. 1.8 and 3.8) in place of the hopeless first molars (No. 1.6 and 3.6) that were extracted due to non-restorable coronal destruction. Clinical and radiographic follow up of 2 years exhibited complete bone regeneration, asymptomatic vital pulp and continuous growth of the root of the transplanted molars. Tooth autotransplantation is an interesting treatment option in case of tooth loss in growing patients, since dental implants are contraindicated until complete growth.
