Orthodontic treatment of a traumatically intruded tooth with ankylosis by traction after surgical luxation

Takumi Takahashi et al. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 2005 Feb.

Abstract

This report presents the treatment of a patient with anterior crossbite and displacement of ankylosed maxillary and mandibular right lateral incisors. The maxillary lateral incisor, which was traumatically intruded, was successfully treated with 2 surgical luxations followed by orthodontic traction. The mandibular lateral incisor, which was avulsed and replanted, experienced replacement root resorption during orthodontic treatment and was ultimately extracted. Two years after active orthodontic treatment, the occlusal results were considered satisfactory.
