Abstract
This article suggests tooth transplantation as an alternative to other restorative options. The 10-year success rates for autografts-teeth m oved from one location to another in a patient's mouth-range from 60 p ercent to 95 percent. Allografts, teeth moved from one person to anoth er, are less successful. The authors report on one case of each type o f transplant.
