Treating children with ankylosed permanent teeth. Dental ankylosis is an abnormal dental condition where there is a solid fixation of a tooth from a fusion of the root to the bone. Although an ankylosed tooth cannot erupt further, the unaffected adjacent teeth will continue to erupt.
Ankylosis of deciduous teeth (submerged teeth) may rarely occur.
Dental ankylosis can affect both primary and permanent teeth, may occur at any time during eruption and can lead to submergence. This fusion of the joint leads to the stiffening and fixation of the joint at a particular position. It is uncommon in the deciduous dentition and very rare in permanent teeth.
