Fifteen impacted anterior teeth were transplanted to their normal positions. Four premolars were transplanted into missing anterior spaces. Four weeks after surgical procedure, root canal therapy was underwent. Clinical and radiographic examintation of 19 transplanted teeth were carried out after 18-months to 5-years. RESULTS: Nineteen teeth were stable with no sign of inflammatory resorption or periapical lesion. CONCLUSION: Autotransplantation may be a better treatment method to impacted tooth and missing anterior when they can't be treated by orthodontic method.
