title: [Autotransplantation of teeth].
abstract: Autotransplantation of teeth has become a common procedure in oral surgery. The most usual procedures are autotransplantation of premolars, canines and third molars. The method can be performed on young patients in combination with orthodontic treatment, creating optimal occlusal relationship. Indication, selection and timing in connection with the surgical procedure are of paramount importance for optimal results.
