Abstract

We describe the treatment of an ankylosed infraverted tooth by distraction osteogenesis after Epker's single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy. There appear to be a number of advantages to this procedure, despite the high surgical invasiveness. This procedure is designed to correct malposition of ankylosed teeth and is more reliable than replantation or subluxation with orthodontic treatment, reported previously to be effective. Furthermore, malpositioned teeth can be transferred irrespective of distance and direction to their correct position. This procedure has a low risk of pulp devitalization and gingival recession. Distraction osteogenesis after single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy may be a new useful method for treatment of tooth ankylosis.
