59-year-old female
A 59-year-old female was referred for a CBCT scan prior to orthodontic treatment. During full-volume review, the radiologist identified resorption of the lower left canine (#22), with bone growing into the resorbed area suggesting possible ankylosis. The radiologist noted that ankylosed teeth typically do not respond to orthodontic forces, and if undetected, the forces may be transmitted to surrounding teeth, potentially affecting the treatment course and outcome. This finding benefits from specialist review, as it can be subtle and significantly influence orthodontic planning.
