One of the basic requirements for succesfull transplantation is an adequate size of recipient site with sufficient alveolar support. If the transplantation is performed into a fresh extraction site, the recipient site can easily be adjusted to the transplantation. However, the situation is different in patient with premolar aplasia or early molar loss with marked atrophy of the alveolar process, need additional surgical procedures like bone autograft or splitting osteotomy of the alveolar process. This paper discussed the effect of bone autograft and splitting osteotomy on root development of transplanted immature third molars. The conclusion is these additional surgical prosedures had a negative effect on the pulpal and periodontal condition of transplantated immature third molars. This may be related to revascularization disturbances of pulp due to nutrient insufficiency of the recipient site.
