The ankylosis of permanent incisors is usually caused by trauma. In a growing patient, the ankylosed tooth fails to move along with the vertical growth of the remaining alveolar process, which results in an infraoccluded tooth, gingival margin disharmony and unaesthetic smile. This case report presents an 23-year-old female patient whose maxillary right central incisor (tooth number 11) had been traumatised eight years earlier. A vertical discrepancy of about 4 mm was exhibited between teeth 11 and 12. To reposition the crown and gingival margins of the ankylosed tooth to an ideal level, single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy and distraction of the block of bone containing the tooth was planned. In order to separate the roots of adjacent teeth for opening a space for osteotomy incision, fixed orthodontic treatment with multibracket appliances was initiated on her maxilla. After five weeks, a single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy was performed using a piezoelectric device. To move the tooth in occlusal and buccal directions, two temporary anchorage devices (miniscrews) on her mandible and interarch elastics were applied. Approximately three weeks later, the ankylosed tooth successfully had an ideal position—relative to the adjacent teeth—and a harmonious gingival margin was achieved by minor gingivoplasty on all incisors.

This case report describes a case of avulsed left maxillary central incisor tooth which was replanted in the dental office. The tooth was gently rinsed of any debris and placed in normal saline during the examination and preparation of the replantation socket. The tooth was replanted and functionally splinted. The following week the tooth was opened for pulp extirpation and placement of calcium hydroxide. Two weeks later, the root canal was filled with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer, and the access cavity was restored with a bonded composite restoration; the splint was removed. Two year clinical and radiological follow up of the case showed ankylosis and infraocclusion of the replanted toothUpdate Dent. Coll. j: 2015; 5 (1): 30-34

AbstractAn altered facial appearance is more difficult to face, than problems related to ill-fitting denture or eating. The selection of maxillary anterior teeth for complete denture has long posed problem in clinical practice and a controversy about the best method to employ still exists. An attempt is made in the present study to clinically correlate the face form with maxillary central incisor tooth form in males and females of Davangere population. In 1914, Leon William's projected the “the form method” where he classified facial forms as square, tapering, and ovoid. Maxillary central incisors were selected according to the facial forms.Of total 100 subjects four different tooth forms and face forms were evaluated. They are: square, ovoid, square-tapered, tapered. No significant correlation existed between face form in male and females. Females exhibited greater correlation between face forms and inverted tooth form but that correlation is not sufficient to serve as a guide for selection of anterior teeth.

ABSTRACT Crown fractures of the anterior teeth are a common form of dental trauma mainly affecting children and adolescents. One of the options for managing crown fractures is the reattachment of the fractured fragment when the tooth fragment is available with minimal or no violation of the biological width. Reattachment of fractured fragments can provide good esthetics, as it maintains the tooth's original anatomic form, color, and surface texture. It also restores function and is a relatively simple procedure. This case report deals with the esthetic management of a crown-root fracture that was successfully treated with endodontic treatment followed by reattachment of fractured fragment with fiber post.
