Abstract:
The clinical diagnosis of ankylosis can be made only when the affected tooth gives positive evidence of an inability to move. The inability to move is demonstrated either as a failure of the tooth to move with normal vertical dental alveolar growth or a failure of the tooth to move when the tooth is subjected to an orthodontic force system. This case report describes the autotransplantation of an ankylosed maxillary canine.
