Popis: This follow-up study on transalveolar transplantation includes 56 maxillary impacted canines in 47 patients, with a post-operative control period of 2-10 years (mean 4.7 years). The prognosis of the transplanted teeth is still very good; only two canines have been lost, due to poor oral hygiene or fracture of the tooth. These positive follow-up results indicate that transalveolar transplantation will offer greater flexibility in the treatment of impacted maxillary canines in adults.
