Abstract: Dentists have been paying more and more attention to the study on autotransplantation of cryopreserved teeth.But it’s still a serious problem for us to maintain the pupal vitality in the progress of cryopreservation.Because of the important function of pulp in teeth,vital pulp became a great factor for the success and prognosis of autotransplantation.Influence of apical foramen on the pupal vitality during cryopreservation is reviewed in this paper.Different methods of apicoetomy used in cryopreserving teeth are introduced according to researches.Generally speaking,the effect of apical foramen should be taken into consideration when cryopreservation is needed.In addition,apicoetomy should be a standard operation when donor teeth is almost mature.
