Abstract: This case series presents three successful cases of autotransplantation in paediatric patients at Glasgow Dental Hospital with differing clinical presentations. It successfully demonstrates the versatility of the technique.

Clinical relevance: Autotransplantation of teeth is a viable treatment option for the replacement of teeth in children and can be an excellent method of maintaining space and bone for restoration with an implant in adulthood.
