Abstract
This case series presents three successful cases of autotransplantation in paediatric patients at Glasgow Dental Hospital with differing clinical presentations. It successfully demonstrates the versatility of the technique.

A Case Series of Tooth Autotransplantation in Three Children with Different Presenting Complaints

Article
Autotransplantation of teeth in children is a recognized treatment option for carefully selected cases, such as repositioning an ectopic tooth or the replacement of an unrestorable or avulsed tooth with another tooth from the patient's dentition. It involves the transplantation of a tooth from one site into an extraction site or surgically prepared socket in the same patient. Autotransplantation survival rates range between 59.6% and 94% after 10 years.1,2,3 This report details three successful cases of autotransplantation in paediatric patients at Glasgow Dental Hospital with differing clinical presentations.
Autotransplantation was the treatment of choice for the three patients outlined: one child with an avulsed central incisor and a supplemental lateral incisor, another with a macrodont central incisor and supplemental lateral incisor and a third patient with an ectopic canine. The clinical and radiographic findings were supplemented with a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan to plan the autotransplantation procedure. Outcomes for the three patients are discussed.
