Answer 2

ankylosis in new location
resorption

Question 3

when and why is a apically respositioned flap carried out

Answer 3

bucally placed ectopic canine treatment
as lack of attached gingiva at cervical margins, aesthetics often poor
apically repositioned flap preserves attached gingiva and brings it more apical to achieve better aesthetic gingival margin height
