Comprehensive Management of an Impacted Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report

The impaction of a maxillary central incisor in young patients is rare but can significantly affect aesthetics, speech, and self-esteem. This case report details the diagnosis and treatment of an 11-year-old male patient with an impacted maxillary right central incisor, along with the presence of an impacted supernumerary tooth (mesiodens). The case was managed through a combination of surgical exposure of the impacted tooth and orthodontic traction to guide the impacted tooth into its correct position. Advances in diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques facilitated the successful resolution of the case. Early intervention in such cases is essential for preventing long-term functional and aesthetic complications.
