Clinical examination revealed a developed maxillary right third molar, which was completely erupted and was a proper candidate for ATT (Figure 1A). After transplanting the donor tooth, it was splinted with silk sutures and occlusal adjustments were made to remove the occlusal forces from the tooth (Figures 1B to E).  Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA) was used as sealer (Figure 1F). Tooth crown was permanently restored with amalgam. The patient was asymptomatic in the post-operative period (Figure 1G).
