Facial asymmetry case with multiple missing teeth treated by molar autotransplantation and orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Autotransplantation is an alternative treatment in cases of missing teeth. Autotransplantation of teeth can lead to significantly shorter treatment time and an improved treatment result in certain cases of tooth loss, wherever a suitable tooth is available and the anatomic circumstances permit it. The presented case report, treated successfully with molar autotransplantation and orthognathic surgery, had a number of missing teeth and facial asymmetry.
