Transplanting teeth successfully: autografts and allografts that work.
This article suggests tooth transplantation as an alternative to other restorative options. The 10-year success rates for autografts--teeth moved from one location to another in a patient's mouth--range from 60 percent to 95 percent. Allografts, teeth moved from one person to another, are less successful. The authors report on one case of each type of transplant.
