This case study details saving a tooth in a Zambian girl through surgical repositioning and orthodontic correction. Despite potential root resorption from treatment, the tooth was successfully preserved.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • A case study involving an indigenous Zambian girl with a dental anomaly.
  • Focus on the management of a tooth with abnormal eruption.
  • Exploration of surgical and orthodontic interventions.

Observation:

  • Initial surgical repositioning of the affected tooth.
  • Subsequent eruption into the nasolabial vestibule.
  • Orthodontic correction was performed at a later stage.

Findings:

  • Surgical trauma and orthodontic forces were potential causes of root resorption.
  • The primary objective of saving the tooth was successfully met.
  • Successful management of an ectopic tooth eruption.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of combined surgical and orthodontic approaches in complex dental cases.
  • Demonstrates the feasibility of tooth preservation despite potential complications like root resorption.
  • Provides insights into managing ectopic eruptions in pediatric patients.
