Study of dental ankylosis in a child population
Abstract
Dentoalveolar ankylosis is a process defined as the fusión of the tooth’s root to the surrounding alveolar bone, due to a root resorption and a new bone formation throught substitution. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of dental ankylosis in a sample of 402 children between 6 and 9 years. We found a prevalence of 4,97%, more frequently in boys and with the highest rate of incidence ocurring in the group of 8 years. These results are similar to the findings other authors have found through the years.
