Tooth transplantation is mainly divided into two types:
- Allotransplantation (homogenous), where a tooth is transferred from one individual to a different individual of the same species.[1] Nowadays, it is largely abandoned as the practice carries many risks including transmission of infection, such as syphilis,[2] and histocompatibility issues.[3] Long-term success of allotransplantation of teeth was also extremely rare, usually lasting about six years.[2][4]
- Autotransplantation (autogenous), where a tooth is transferred from one site to another in the same individual.[1]
