Treatment of Impacted Maxillary Central Incisor with Removable Appliance: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Maxillary central incisors impaction is a challenging problem in orthodontics, which has a major effect on dental and facial esthetics. Scientific literature agree on the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate intervention. This is a case report of a 10 yearold boy who presented with impaction of maxillary central incisor related to previous trauma to primary dentition and apparent space loss. The treatment proposed involved space reopening with removable appliance, a waitandwatch approach, surgical exposure of impacted tooth followed by orthodontic traction with a removable appliance. This approach showed many advantages over fixed treatment and early exposure in mixed dentition.
