Abstract
Autotransplantation of teeth is useful and has many indications in dentistry. Cryopreservation of teeth creates new possibilities—eg, when autotransplantation is needed, but the recipient site is too small and orthodontic treatment is needed to gain space for the transplant. This review article examines the reactions of various dental tissues after autotransplantation vs after autotransplantation with cryopreservation. Various subjects will be discussed, including periodontal healing, pulp reactions, and root development after autotransplantation with and without cryopreservation.
