Tooth Ankylosis

Subscribe to New Research on Tooth Ankylosis

Solid fixation of a tooth resulting from fusion of the cementum and alveolar bone, with obliteration of the periodontal ligament. It is uncommon in the deciduous dentition and very rare in permanent teeth. (Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992)

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Tooth Ankylosis:

1.	OsteoprotegerinIBA 11/01/2014 - "While receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ ligand (RANKL), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ (RANK) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) have gained momentum in the understanding of resorption, no study to date has investigated their role in dentoalveolar ankylosis. "
2.	Fibronectins (Fibronectin)IBA 03/01/1987 - "The findings of this study indicate that fibronectin use resulted in enhanced healing by early replacement of the fibrin clot, increased connective tissue cell proliferation, reduction of the inflammatory response, and inhibition of both cementum resorption and dentoalveolar ankylosis."
3.	FibrinIBA 03/01/1987 - "The findings of this study indicate that fibronectin use resulted in enhanced healing by early replacement of the fibrin clot, increased connective tissue cell proliferation, reduction of the inflammatory response, and inhibition of both cementum resorption and dentoalveolar ankylosis."
4.	CollagenIBA 10/01/2006 - "Histochemical methods were performed to demonstrate elastic and precursor fibers, while immunohistochemical procedures were used to study the distribution of collagen types I to VI. Islands of heterotopic, newly formed bone were observed in the dentin and the periodontal space, leading to focal dentoalveolar ankylosis. "
5.	FluoridesIBA 05/01/2002 - "Nevertheless, this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001) and indicates a relationship between fluoride prophylaxis, the special form of pulp calcification and tooth ankylosis." 10/01/1983 - "Five expressions of dental fluorosis are described in cattle exposed to industrial fluoride pollution: 1. Hypercementosis with tooth ankylosis, cementum necrosis and cyst formation; 2. Delayed eruption of permanent incisor teeth; 3 Necrosis of alveolar bone with recession of bone and gingiva; 4. Oblique eruption of permanent teeth, hypoplasia of teeth with diastemata; and 5. Rapid progression of dental lesions. "
6.	Alendronate (Alendronate Sodium)FDA LinkGeneric 02/01/2006 - "The results indicated that sodium alendronate was able to reduce the incidence of radicular resorption, but not of dental ankylosis. "
7.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 07/01/2013 - "These proteins could be involved in the pathogenesis of tooth ankylosis. "
8.	Dichlorodiphenyl Dichloroethylene (DDE)IBA 01/01/2010 - "Data was recorded concerning malocclusion, ankylosis, dental fluorosis, DDE index modified, urgent healthcare needs, healthcare system use, orthodontic treatments, filling materials, school type and socioeconomic position. "
9.	coronal Dentin dysplasiaIBA 03/01/2015 - "The commonest alteration observed was hypercementosis (87.5 %), followed by pulpar necrosis (81.25 %), pulp stones attached to the dentine and loose pulp stones in the pulp chamber and root canals in addition to linear calcifications (68.75 %), dentinoid/osteoid material formation (18.75 %), and dental ankylosis (6.25 %). "
10.	oxytalanIBA 10/01/1980 - "Tooth ankylosis in man and the oxytalan fibre meshwork."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Replantation 03/01/1993 - "Dentoalveolar ankylosis was clinically established 2 weeks after replantation. " 03/01/1993 - "Dentoalveolar ankylosis is a common complication after replantation of teeth with injured periodontal ligaments. " 06/01/2000 - "The results suggested that enamel matrix protein enhance the regeneration of PDL and prevent tooth ankylosis in transplantation and replantation therapy." 09/01/1989 - "Within the limits of the study, in this primate replantation model, the biochemical treatment of surgically exposed and demineralized root surfaces with AFFP did not enhance connective tissue attachment regeneration nor prevent dentoalveolar ankylosis and root resorption." 06/01/2014 - "Dentoalveolar ankylosis with osseous replacement is often seen after replantation of avulsed teeth, and this process may be used for preservation of alveolar crests after trauma. "
2.	Bite Force (Occlusal Forces) 07/01/2005 - "Occlusal forces promote periodontal healing of transplanted teeth and prevent dentoalveolar ankylosis: an experimental study in rats." 03/01/2005 - "It has been reported that occlusal forces promote periodontal healing of transplanted teeth and prevent dentoalveolar ankylosis, although its mechanism is still unclear. "
3.	Transplantation (Transplant Recipients) 01/01/2015 - "It can be confirmed that avulsed teeth could be successfully rescued even in delayed transplantation to avoid dentoalveolar ankylosis or replacement resorption via the current developed cell homing method." 07/01/2005 - "The process of healing periodontal ligaments (PDL) after transplantation has been widely examined, but the mechanism for preventing dentoalveolar ankylosis is still unclear. " 06/01/2000 - "The results suggested that enamel matrix protein enhance the regeneration of PDL and prevent tooth ankylosis in transplantation and replantation therapy." 03/01/2002 - "Mechanical injury to periodontal tissues frequently results in dental root resorption and dental ankylosis, which leads to the failure of transplantation or replantation. "
4.	Transplants (Transplant) 04/01/2014 - "Teeth ankylosis was present in 38% of all cases and 58% of all 33 transplants presented pulpar vitality. "
5.	Prostheses and Implants (Prosthesis) 03/01/1994 - "Treatment of multiple tooth ankylosis with removable prosthesis: case report."
