Autogenous transplant of two impacted mandibular canines: a case report with 2-year follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: In this case the transplantation of the mandibular canines was successful and maintained the vitality of the transplanted teeth for at least 2 years. By preserving the periodontal ligament is it possible to re-establish a functional tooth unit, which allows a physiologic growth of the jaws. Conflict-of-interest statement: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
