Due to lack of blood supply ( small opening at root tip ) and time required for regeneration plus technique sensitive issues it is not yet possible to transplant tooth from different donor or person.

1. Tooth transplantation from one person to another is not possible because unlike organs, teeth are not capable of regeneration and integration with the recipient's existing tooth structure and surrounding tissues. Additionally, there are significant differences in the anatomy, biology, and function of teeth compared to other organs.
2. Tooth transplantation within one's own mouth is technically possible, but it is referred to as "tooth autotransplantation" and is a complex and challenging procedure that is not always successful. This procedure involves removing a tooth from one location in the mouth and transplanting it to another location, typically with the goal of replacing a missing or damaged tooth. The success of the procedure depends on many factors, including the health of the surrounding tissues and the proper preservation of the root structure and periodontal ligament
