Abstract:
Infraclusion is a consequence of dentoalveolar ankylosis. Associated complications include extrusion of the opposing tooth, open bites, and tilts. Early detection and management are crucial to limit and/or correct these complications. Different therapeutic options exist when a deciduous tooth is ankylosed : preservation or extraction (with or without space closure). The goal of this article is to highlight the advantages of the injected composite technique for restoring the tooth when preservation has been chosen.

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...
