Tooth transplantation was first documented in ancient Egypt where the slaves were forced to give their teeth to the Pharoahs. However most of these cases resulted in failure due to complications of histocompactability. Tooth auto transplantation however eliminates histocompactability issues and is successfully used with varying success. Our current understanding of periodontal healing has improved success rates and clinicians interest in the procedure. This article provides an overview of auto transplantation and considerations for clinical success.
