The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis of replacing molars with advanced periodontitis by autotransplanted fully developed third molars. The patient sample consisted of 18 subjects, 24-58 years of age. The patients selected had at least 1 molar with advanced periodontal tissue destruction. After extraction of the diseased molar, autotransplantation of a third molar was immediately performed. After a splinting and healing period of 2-3 weeks, endodontic treatment was carried out. The follow-up included recordings of the clinical parameters, probing periodontal pocket depth, probing attachment level, percussion sound, and mobility. Radiographs were taken immediately after the surgical procedure, after 6 months, 1 year, and thereafter annually. The results of this study indicate that autotransplantation may be an alternative treatment procedure for molars with advanced periodontal disease.
