Bilateral primary maxillary central incisor impaction is rare, especially in young children. This case highlights trauma-induced displacement of tooth germs as a cause in a 4-year-old girl.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Dentistry
Dental Traumatology
Developmental Anomalies

Background:

Tooth impaction is uncommon in primary dentition.
When it occurs, primary second molars are most frequently affected.
Central incisor impaction in primary teeth is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

A 4-year-old girl presented with bilateral impaction of primary maxillary central incisors.
The impaction involved inverted tooth positions.
A history of trauma potentially displacing the tooth germs prior to eruption was noted.

Findings:

The case demonstrates a rare occurrence of bilateral primary maxillary central incisor impaction.
Trauma-induced displacement of developing tooth germs is identified as a potential etiology.

Keywords:
