Abstract [eng] The decision-making in terms of accurate, thoughtful and clinically appropriate treatment of dentoalveolar ankylosis pose a challenge for practitioners all over the world for many years. Especially in the field of orthodontics, clinicians are facing the pathology which is characterized by the inability to move ankylosed teeth under the application of orthodontic forces, referred to as “diagnostic orthodontic force”. This clinical presentation is considered to be the most important as well as significant evidence of dentoalveolar ankylosis and is the reason why ankylosed teeth are represented and diagnosed disproportionately in Orthodontics in comparison to other dental specialties, in which they often remain undetected. Dentoalveolar ankylosis brings along numerous clinical issues and challenges and even though various treatment approaches are reported in the form of case studies, there is a lack of generalizing information and clinical guidelines regarding that topic. This literature review aims to present interdisciplinary treatment approaches, expand individual indications and contraindications, reveal limitations and risk factors, and finally purposes to draw conclusions from which this literature review can eventually function as a clinical guideline for the treatment of ankylosed teeth.
