Abstract:
A patient with an impacted dilacerated maxillary left central incisor is presented. The 8-year-old girl also presented with protrusion of teeth and lips, posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, thumb-sucking habit, and transposition of the maxillary left lateral incisor and canine. The treatment consisted of a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, and prosthodontics. The dilacerated incisor was surgically exposed, tractioned, endodontically treated, and restored. Four premolars were extracted to correct the protrusion. The outcome was the accomplishment of a balanced and functional occlusion, resulting in a pleasant smile.
