The inherent risk of failure made tooth autotransplantation an unpopular choice to replace missing teeth. Under the contemporary understanding of biology, advancements in digital technology and enhanced standard protocol, the success rate of autotransplantation has elevated significantly. With the vision of future occlusion in mind, TADs provide reliable anchorage for the essential orthodontic tooth movement to pave the way for the autotransplantation procedure. A meticulous interdisciplinary approach further finetunes the treatment outcome. Autotransplantation plays a pivotal role in the concept of recycling orthodontics, substantially broadening the spectrum of available treatment possibilities and options for patients.
Learning Objectives:

Clearly evaluate the differences between dental implants and autotransplants to understand the rationale of tooth autotransplantation.
Explore various factors to predict the prognosis of an autotransplantation.
Appreciate the importance of TADs and interdisciplinary treatment to elevate the success rate of tooth autotransplantation.
