27
Q

What are 3 other diagnostic means leading one to believe a tooth is ankylosed?

A
  1. Metallic sound on percussion
  2. Lacks normal mobility
  3. Absence of radiographic PDL space
28
Q

How long is an ankylosed tooth in the primary dentition maintained?

A

Until an interference with eruption or drift of other teeth begins to occur

29
Q

What is done with the space left by an extracted ankylosed tooth in the primary dentition?

A

Some type of space maintenance (LLHA, band and loop, Nance)

30
Q

What will be indicated if adjacent teeth have already tipped over the ankylosed tooth?

A

They will need to be repositioned to regain space

31
Q

Should vertical bony discrepancies be a concern after the extraction of an ankylosed tooth and why?

A

No, because erupting succedaneous tooth brings bone with it during eruption

32
Q

What is indicated if a primary tooth is ankylosed and radiography shows no permanent successor and why?

A

Extract ankylosed tooth to avoid a large vertival occlusal discrepancy

33
Q

If an ankylosed tooth is extracted and there is no permanent successor, what can be done to maintain that bone in the edentulous space until some restorative treatment (e.g. a FPD) can be placed?

A

Move teeth partially into the edentulous space

34
Q

Can space maintenance in the primary dentition be sometimes contraindicated?

A

Yes, in the instance of wanting to move teeth into a space left by ankylosed tooth with no successor in order to avoid a large vertical occlusal discrepancy

35
Q

What are 4 characteristic clinical and radiographic appearances of ankylosed permanent teeth?

A
  1. Reduced height of occlusal table
  2. Tilting of neighboring teeth
  3. Supereruption of opposing dental units
  4. Lack of associated alveolar process development
36
Q

What are 6 treatment options for ankylosed permanent teeth?

A
  1. No treatment
  2. Prosthetic buildup
  3. Extraction
  4. Decoronation
  5. Ortho-surgical
  6. Segmental osteotomy
37
Q

What will occur if an ankylosed tooth is bracketed an ortho treatment?

A

It will not move and / or will intrude the anchor teeth

38
Q

What must be done to keep and ankylosed tooth and move it orthodontically?

A

Luxate it and immediately apply ortho forces

39
Q

What is ortho-surgical treatment of anklosed teeth?

A

Surgically luxating ankylosed tooth and applying extrusive orthodontic forces

40
Q

How many times can ortho-surgical treatment of an ankylosed permanent tooth be done and at what interval?

A

2 times, wait 6 months after each

41
Q

What is indicated after 2 failed laxations of ankylosed teeth?

A

Extraction

42
Q

Is it common for an ankylosed tooth that was luxated and had immediate ortho forces applied to re-ankylose?

A

Yes

43
Q

What can be done with an ankylosed tooth and its associated born to move the tooth to a new position?

A

Distraction

44
Q

What is the moth commonly impacted tooth?

A

Mandibular 3rd molars (78%)

45
Q

What is the second most commonly impacted teeth?

A

Maxillary canines (13%)

46
Q

How many times more common is a maxillary canine impaction than a mandibular canine impaction?

A

Ten times

47
Q

What percentage of ortho patients have impacted canines?

A

2%

48
Q

Which direction of maxillary canine impaction is more common: palatal or labial?

A

Palatal (85%)

49
Q

Which is more common with maxillary canine impaction: unilateral or bilateral impaction?

A

Unilateral

50
Q

At what age should you be looking radiographically for maxillary canine impaction?

A

9-10 years old

51
Q

What clinical finding usually indicates a favorable eruption position of a maxillary permanent canine?

A

A buccal bulge apical to the primary canines

52
Q

What should be expected if there is an absence of canine buccal bulge?

A

Eruption disturbance of maxillary permanent canines

53
Q

What is indicated if maxillary canine impaction is confirmed?

A

Extract the corresponding primary canines

54
Q

Why extract primary canines if the permanent canines are impacted?

A

Primary canine root will not resorb and will be an obstacle to normal permanent canine eruption

55
Q

What is the percentage and time of eruption of palatally displaced canines that spontaneously erupt?

A

78% have normal eruption position and erupt over a 6-12 month period
62% of cases have normal eruptive position

56
Q

Is extraction of primary canine alone an effective procedure to increase the rate of normal eruption of palatally displaced canines?

A

No

57
Q

If the cusp tip of an unerupted permanent canine is mesial to the long axis of the erupted lateral incisor root, will canine palatal eruption occur?

A

Yes

58
Q

If the cusp tip of the unerupted permanent canine overlays the distal half of the erupted lateral incisor root, will palatal impaction usually occur or not occur?

A

Usually will occur

59
Q

What percent of unerupted canines in ideal eruptive position (canine cusp tip on the distal border of the erupted lateral incisor root) still were impacted?

A

22%

60
Q

What modifies the success rate of orthodontic treatment for palatally impacted maxillary canines?

A

Age

>30 yrs old, 60% success rate <20 yrs old, 100% success rate

A

The treatment time is longer (30 months or more)

62
Q

A

Heavy archwire

63
Q

What should an adult patient with an impacted tooth be informed or before treatment?

  2. Increased treatment time
  3. Alternative options: implant, bridge, tooth substitution
64
Q

What must be considered when planning pulling down an impacted canine?

A

Is there space for the tooth in the arch?
