Abstract: Autotransplantation of teeth refers to the surgical procedure of transplanting tooth from one position to another within the same individuals. This procedure usually involves transferring an impacted, embedded, dislocated or ectopically erupted tooth to an extraction site or a surgically prepared alveolar socket. As one of the most biocompatible oral rehabilitation approach, tooth autotransplantation can preserve alveolar bone volume, restore functioning periodontal tissue and its proprioception, and consequently achieve the purpose of 'turning waste into wealth'. At present, there hasn't been a universally accepted standardized operation process on tooth autotransplantation including its indications, contraindications, preoperative preparation, surgical steps, and postoperative treatment and orders. In order to standardize its clinical application to further increase success rate, in combination with Chinese experts' clinical experience, a consensus on standardized operation process of autotransplantation of teeth has been proposed in this article.
