The management of missing teeth as a result of dental trauma or associated with hypodontia in children and adolescents presents as a clinical challenge for the dental team. One of the options that is regaining popularity is dental autotransplantation. To improve autotransplantation outcomes, careful interdisciplinary planning, surgical simulation using cone beam computed tomography images and three dimensional-printed teeth replicas should be undertaken for pre-surgical preparation. This case report showcases two applications of autotransplantation, with emphasis on interdisciplinary management, pre-surgical preparation and post-surgical orthodontic and aesthetic management to deliver a good long term, sustainable, biological outcome, as a part of a comprehensive rehabilitation treatment plan in children.
