Transplantation of bicuspids in a case of aplasia of the lower central incisors.
The relatively unusual aplasia of both lower central incisors was treated by mesialization of the lateral incisors and cuspids, with a stable anterior dental arch thus being established. The resulting spaces in the posterior area were closed by autogenous transplantation of teeth 15 and 25 into the lower jaw.
