Autogenous third molar transplantation: report of case.
This case reports the surgical autogenous transplant of a third molar into a first molar recipient site. No antibiotic therapy was prescribed. Mechanical stabilization was minimal, because most of the splinting was provided by the adjacent teeth. Twenty-one months postoperatively, the tooth exhibited normal growth and absence of morbidity. The only abnormality was a decrease in the size of the pulp chamber.
