Figure 6.

(A) Posttreatment panoramic radiograph. (B) Periapical radiograph of transplanted tooth showing good root length and pulp canal obliteration. (C) Lateral cephalogram. (D) 4-year follow-up of the transplanted tooth #45 showed blunting of the root apex and a localized concavity on the mesial aspect of the root. The tooth should be reviewed in the longer term to assess for any developing signs of root resorption.
