Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Ankylosis of a mandibular canine tooth presents significant restorative and orthodontic challenges.
  • Failure of conventional orthodontic extrusion necessitates alternative treatment strategies.

Observation:

  • A case of mandibular canine ankylosis is presented, where 3 months of fixed appliance therapy failed to achieve tooth extrusion.
  • The ankylosed tooth exhibited aesthetic and functional deficits due to infraclusion.

Findings:

  • A successful restorative approach utilizing adhesive techniques was employed to manage the infracluded mandibular canine.
  • This method effectively resolved the aesthetic and functional problems associated with the ankylosed tooth.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Adhesive restorative techniques offer a viable solution for managing ankylosed teeth when orthodontic extrusion fails.
  • This approach can restore both function and aesthetics in cases of dental ankylosis.
