Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries occur more frequently in children aged 8 to 12 years, putting the integrity of the periodontal ligament at risk, often resulting in the development of ankylosis. This condition can cause a reduction in the height and width of the alveolar bone, in addition to aesthetic problems. The study aimed to determine if there is a relationship between the development of ankylosis in permanent teeth due to trauma and its effect on tooth extraction. The methodology of this study followed a qualitative, descriptive approach, grounded in a systematic review method focused on the search criteria of the PRISMA 2020 Statement. The information search considered articles published between 2018 and 2023, in the PubMed, Sciencedirect, and Scielo databases, using advanced search string keywords. A total of 202 articles were found, of which only 10 were selected as suitable for the research. Among the most relevant results, it was identified that dental avulsion and the subsequent reimplantation process can promote the development of ankylosis. Additionally, the extraction of ankylosed teeth can lead to the fracture of the dental root. Dental traumas, particularly avulsion, can promote the development of ankylosis, especially when tooth reimplantation is required. However, it could not be determined whether ankylosis has negative or positive effects on dental extraction.
