Abstract : Autotransplantation is surgical relocation (transplantation) of a tooth from its original position within the alveolar ridge to another location within the alveolar ridge. However, a successful outcome always begins with a wellestablished indication and a proven justification for the treatment in question. Literature examples state for broad biological potential of this procedure and demonstrates that, by following fundamental criteria and principles, success can be achieved even in complex clinical cases that would otherwise be considered difficult to resolve. AT can be accurately described as a combined periodontological, endodontic, and surgical intervention. The type of cells that proliferate along the root surface following a periodontal injury determines the nature of the attachment that will form and the manner in which the wound heals.

Keywords : Autotransplantation- AT, Periodontal Ligament - PDL, Platelet Rich Finrin- PRF.
