Forty-eight tooth allografts were studied histologically and radiographically four days to 13 months after transplantation. The pulp and periodontal ligament degenerated and appeared to be replaced by host tissues. The relationship of attached fibers or uncalcified cells of hard tissues to allograft immunity and the similarity of tooth allografts to other tissue allografts were discussed.
