Revascularization after autotransplantation

Autotransplantation is a viable treatment option that restores the space immediately, maintains and preserves hard and soft tissues, offers good long-term survival, and has good success rates. Should the autotranspanted tooth have incomplete root formation, there is the potential for continued root growth. Currently, postoperative root canal therapy (RCT) is recommended for autotransplanted teeth with complete root formation, but the evidence guiding this choice is limited. Delaying the completion of RCT until a pathologic condition is apparent radiographically compromises the long-term prognosis for autotransplanted teeth, according to the available evidence, which is also limited.
