Abstract
The most successful autogenous tooth transplantation technique of which we have had experience in Liverpool is that described by Thonner (1969). Our results have been sufficiently encouraging to regard the technique as a normal orthodontic/surgical procedure and to be able to tell the patient that the chances of success are good. The technique consists of the removal of the tooth with the minimum of trauma and while the new socket is being prepared the tooth is kept in the patient's serum at 37°C. The tooth is not root filled at the time of operation.Keywords
