Abstract:
One of the common complications of dental injury is tooth ankylosis. Unlike adults, when tooth ankylosis occurs in the adolescents, ankylosis interfered the growth of the adjacent alveolar bone, resulting in the developmental failure of the alveolar bone and subsequent open bite. The most common treatment option for ankylosed tooth is extraction. However, when prognosis of ankylosed tooth after extraction is expected to be poor due to severity of infrapositioning or prosthetic replacement cannot be performed immediately, various treatment options should be considered. This report suggests multidisciplinary treatment that might bring functionally and esthetically favorable result included alveolar bone distraction osteogenesis and decoronation of ankylosed maxillary anterior tooth with orthodontic and prosthetic treatments.
