Calcium hydroxide therapy and bony regeneration following autogenous tooth transplantation: case report and three year follow up.Heer J JH Dental Clinic, 279 Mitchell Ave, Coventry, CV4 8DU. jheer@talk21.com Tooth transplantation may be the earliest form of transplantation, possibly carried out by the ancient Egyptians. The surgical technique has changed very little since its documentation in 1954 by M. L. Hale. Autogenous transplantation is the movement of one tooth from one location in the mouth to another in the same individual. Occasionally it is used to reposition teeth that have developed into an incorrect position. This is occasionally carried out for maxillary canines, but lower molar teeth are also considered, particularly when replacing a lower first permanent molar with a lower third molar. This case report focuses on the autotransplantation of a maxillary canine taken from the palate and surgically repositioned into the edentulous canine space. By using this technique a prosthetic method such as a dental implant or bridge was avoided. Published 15 October 2007 in Br Dent J, 203(7): 403-5.
