Primary impaction of a primary in incisor tooth:a case report
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The primary impaction is the situation in which a tooth is retained in the mouth and remains unerupted for a period upper six months when compared to teeth of the other side.It is a very rare condition in primary teeth especially in maxillary anterior teeth.The purpose of this article is to present a case of a 2-year and 11-month old female child with an impacted primary upper central incisor.The main complaint was the absence of the anterior tooth in the mouth. There was a previous history of trauma when the child was four months old. Clinical and radiographic examinations are described.The treatment consisted of a period of clinical and radiographic control, with the extraction of the impacted primary upper central incisor and a follow-up until the eruption of the permanent successor.This case emphasizes the possible relationship between previous trauma and primary impaction.
