No matter what caused the tooth to fall out, it is a serious problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Ankylosis after a tooth is knocked out is a serious dental problem that can cause tooth loss. The tooth is not able to move, and the alveolar ridge is not growing in the right way. Most of the time, this condition is caused by damage to the teeth. The authors of this study compared the risk of ankylosis after avulsion to the risk of ankylosis in healthy teeth. They used a Cox regression model to figure out how the risk factors affected each other. The stage of root growth was found to be linked to the risk of ankylosis. Ankylosis was much more likely to happen in teeth with fully developed roots. Both dental avulsion and periodontitis are injuries that cause the teeth to come loose f...
