Treatment of ankylosed permanent teeth
1Glasgow Dental School and Hospital, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
Data Sources:
The Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline, Embase and LILACS . There were no language restrictions.
Study Selection:
Randomised controlled trials (RCT) were considered that compared any intervention for treating displaced ankylosed permanent front teeth in individuals of any age.
Data Extraction And Synthesis:
Two independent review authors screened studies in duplicate. Although no studies were ultimately included, the authors had planned to extract data independently and to assess risk of bias following Cochrane Collaboration methods.
Results:
The search retrieved 77 references to studies. None matched the inclusion criteria and therefore were excluded.
Conclusions:
There is no evidence from RCT about the comparative effectiveness of the different treatment options for ankylosed permanent front teeth. The lack of high-level evidence for the management of this health problem emphasises the need for well-designed clinical trials.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
