Abstract
Despite the limitation of this long-term study of patients lost to follow-up, the results suggest that, with close monitoring, some autotransplanted teeth with complete root formation that do not undergo RCT could have the potential for revascularization. Hence, one could reconsider the protocol of routinely providing RCT after autotransplantation. Future long-term studies will be beneficial to assess the vascularity of autotransplanted teeth using Doppler flowmetry with a larger cohort of patients.
