Autotransplantation of teeth is an old method of tooth replacement, but it is receiving renewed interest, as treatment today is founded on evidence-based, long-term research. Autotransplantation of premolars has become a reliable option for the treatment of certain orthodontic problems (Slags- . void and Bjercke, 1967, 1970. 1974, 1978a,b; Ravn and Nielsen, 1973; Northway and Konigsberg, 1980; Andreasen, 1981; Kristerson, 1985; Paulsen and Andreasen, 1985, 1990, 1998; Lagerstrom and Kristerson, 1986; Andreasen et al, 1988, 1989, 1999 Paulsen, 1989, 1999, 2001; Kristerson and Lagerstrom, 1991; Paulsen and Zachrisson, 1992, Kugelbrg et al, 1994; Paulsen et al, 1995, 2001; Josefsson et al, 1999; Czochrowska et al, 2000<2,#). In general, autotransplantation of incisors, canines and molars is not always as successful due to the more complex severity of the surgical problems during transplantation (Nordenram, 1963; Moss 1968, 1975; Oksala and Kallioniemi, 1977; Berglund et al, 1996; Akiyama et al, 1998; Guthua et al, 1994; Bauss et al, 2002; Gleiser and Jaramillo, 2002; Ioannidou and Makris, 2003).
