The rapidly evolving implantation and alveolar ridge reconstruction techniques opened a new era in modern dentistry, where tooth loss is no longer a problem. However, none of the modern technologies in implant dentistry have the potential to adapt to the growth and development changes of a child’s jaw. Therefore, patients at young ages appear as a restriction for implantation and as a particular challenge for a dentist willing to restore the missing teeth. Thus, dental autotransplantation is an alternative treatment for replacing the lost teeth when suitable donor teeth are available. A case report is presented, in which the non-restorable tooth was replaced by autotransplantation of the impacted tooth. This article illustrates the option of using impacted teeth as a viable reservoir for autotransplantation in young patients with non-restorable permanent tooth.
