Acceleration of canine retraction using the abovementioned techniques has the definitive advantages: Anchorage teeth can withstand the retraction forces with no anchorage loss and without clinical or radiographic evidence of complications such as root fracture, root resorption, ankylosis, periodontal problems, and soft tissue dehiscence.
However, it is important to mention that in specific RR cases, especially in teeth under trauma but with no signals of infections (transitory, transient apical breakdown, and ankylosis), no treatment is recommended.
We conducted a retrospective chart review to compare four characteristics--cricoarytenoid joint ankylosis, narrowing, erosion, and density increases--in patients younger and older than 65 years.
