Ankylosis: an orthodontic problem with a restorative solution.
This case illustrates a restorative approach using adhesive techniques to overcome the aesthetic and functional problems associated with infraclusion of a mandibular canine tooth resulting from ankylosis. In this case a diagnosis of ankylosis was confirmed after 3 months of fixed appliance orthodontic therapy failed to extrude the tooth.
