Abstract
Transplantation of a nonfunctional mandibular third molar into the opposite mandibular
second molar site, where it was necessary to remove the second molar of a 61-year-old
patient, has been reported.
There was long-term follow-up and evaluation, with radiographs and clinical examination
during the ninth postoperative year.
The patient had no complaints related to the transplant at the long-term follow-up
visit. The periodontal tissues were in excellent condition. The tooth was firm, and
the radiograph demonstrated growth of new attachment by showing lamina dura and periodontal
ligament space. There was filling-in of bone in the lateral and periapical areas,
and there was no evidence of resorption. A root canal filling had been acquired in
the transplant between the second and ninth postoperative years.
