Abstract

One of the basic requirements for succesfull transplantation is an adequate size of recipient site with sufficient
alveolar support. If the transplantation is performed into a fresh extraction site, the recipient site can easily be
adjusted to the transplantation. However, the situation is different in patient with premolar aplasia or early molar
loss with marked atrophy of the alveolar process, need additional surgical procedures like bone autograft or
splitting osteotomy of the alveolar process. This paper discussed the effect of bone autograft and splitting osteotomy
on root development of transplanted immature third molars. The conclusion is these additional surgical prosedures
had a negative effect on the pulpal and periodontal condition of transplantated immature third molars. This may be
related to revascularization disturbances of pulp due to nutrient insufficiency of the recipient site.
