Abstract

Tooth ankylosis is a type of tooth eruption disorder, which results in the fusion of cementum and alveolar bone, whereas the periodontal ligament is gradually replaced by alveolar bone. Tooth ankylosis can occur in both erupted and impacted teeth. The most common ankylosed impacted teeth in the adult population are the maxillary canines creating functional and esthetic issues. This review analyzes the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of ankylosed impacted teeth. Four clinical cases are also presented, displaying different treatment options for ankylosis of impacted teeth.
