title: Use of a cantilevered acrylic splint in the autogenous transplantation of a third molar: report of case.
abstract: A case report offers details of autogenous transplantation of an unerupted third molar to the first molar position. Stabilization of the transplant required a cantilevered acrylic resin splint--because of the absence of the second molar--as a terminal splint abutment. Guidelines for the proper procedures and criteria for case selection are reviewed.
