Abstract Background: Transplantation of the developing teeth has been done many years ago with different aims either for studying odontogenesis or replacing missing or un- erupted teeth with a biologic replacement Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of autotranplantation of the developing third permanent premolar tooth germ to the fresh extraction socket of the permanent canine in dogs. Conclusion: Our initial results after 30 days were promising and showed that transplantation of tooth germs at early stage of development was possible and the transplanted germ continued in development. After 60 days CT scanning for the site of the transplanted third permanent premolar showed disappearance of the hard structure suggesting resorption of the transplanted premolar. |
