Autogenic tooth transplantation: a report of ten cases.
Modifications in the surgical procedure for transplantation of the unerupted mandibular third molar to the first molar socket are presented, and the clinical and radiographic data on ten cases with a 3-year follow-up are described. The proposed method of treatment makes it possible to stabilize the transplant without a splint by using a suture crossed over the occlusal surface of the tooth.
