Aim: The aims of this report are to present three cases of autotransplantation along with a review of the indications, selection criteria for patient donor and recipient sites, and the major steps in the surgical procedure.
Background: Autogenous tooth transplantation, or autotransplantation, is the surgical movement of a tooth from one location in the mouth to another in the same individual. It can be a good treatment option in many cases if the dentist knows the implications, indications, and contraindications.
Case Descriptions: Three cases with different treatment indications and plans are presented. All showed autotransplantation of teeth as part of orthodontic treatment. It emphasized the benefits of this treatment modality such as new bone formation and lower costs. One case, a rare example of multiple congenitally missing teeth treated by autotransplantation, also was presented.
Summary: As shown in these case reports, there are instances where the autotransplantation of teeth is appropriate and may possibly simplify future planned orthodontic or prosthodontic treatment.
Clinical Significance: Tooth autotransplantation is an easy and good treatment option, applicable in a lot of cases, substituting different types of prostheses, including dental implants.

Aim: This report highlights successful management of a rare case of a mandibular premolar with Oehler's Type IIIb Dens Invaginatus (DI) and peri-invagination periodontitis with guided intentional replantation (IR) without root canal treatment.
Methods: A 22-year-old female patient reported with discomfort and a sinus tract associated with tooth #21. Clinical examination and cone beam computed tomography revealed tooth #21 had an Oehler's Type IIIb DI with peri-invagination periodontitis.

Congenital missing teeth are among the most prevalent dental malformations. Maxillary lateral incisors are particularly prone to agenesis, often missing bilaterally. This condition presented complex challenges for both patients and clinicians.

Nonetheless, insufficient bone availability at the recipient site is a key limitation. This study aims to establish the feasibility of tooth autotransplantation combined with staged or simultaneous bone regeneration to address complex cases.

Objective: In the young and growing patient, tooth ankylosis impedes alveolar growth and presents a serious dilemma regarding the best treatment approach. Two common treatment approaches, extraction of the ankylosed tooth or a "wait and see" will result in a compromised alveolar ridge that can affect future prosthetic rehabilitation. The purpose of this article is to discuss five treatment strategies that can be utilized in the management of tooth ankylosis in the growing patient: (1) extraction, (2) decoronation or root submergence, (3) socket shield (partial extraction), (4) segmental osteotomy and (5) replacement with tooth autotransplantation.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous bone grafts used before dental implant placement through long-term analysis using 3D modeling.
- Nine patients participated, with evaluations occurring at three key time points: before grafting, after grafting, and post-implant placement, using digital scans of dental casts.
- The results showed accurate superimposition of the casts, but indicated a significant decrease in the volume of the anterior maxilla, with reductions ranging from 14% to 38% after implant placement.
