Clinical evaluation of immediate auto-transplantation success in young adults indicates a viable treatment alternative.

This research evaluates the success rate and influencing factors of immediate auto-transplantation of mandibular third molars.
90 mandibular third molars were immediately transplanted to replace the homolateral first or second molars.
Root canal treatment was performed on mature molars 1 to 2 weeks post-transplantation.
Follow-up included clinical assessments and radiology over a two-year period.
Average patient age was 22 years.
Overall success rate of auto-transplantation was 87.8%.
Success rates were 91.2% for immature and 81.8% for mature third molars.
