Dental autotransplantation is a dental treatment whereupon a natural donor tooth from the same person replaces a missing tooth at the recipient site. This treatment modality has been ignored by many clinicians for decades. This paper discusses the "poor" prognosis of autotransplantation of teeth with complete root formation as described in a recent publication. It delivers a straightforward message indicating that success and failure are multifactorial.

Despite the availability of several prognostic markers for MM, many are challenging to implement routine clinical practice due to cost, complexity, or lack of standardization. Red cell distribution width (RDW), a cost-effective and routinely measured parameter in complete blood counts, has gained increasing attention as a prognostic marker due to its association with disease severity and outcomes in MM.
