The Use of Laser Doppler Flowmetry with Auto Transplanted Teeth

Dental auto transplantation of teeth, also known as autogenous transplantation, is the movement of one tooth from one position to another within the same person (Hale, 1965). A tooth which is either fully erupted or impacted is positioned into a premade or post extraction socket (Schwartz et al, 1985). It is a procedure, more commonly performed in children, for hypodontia or orthodontic reasons or to replace traumatised or carious teeth.
