Orthodontic treatment of an impacted dilacerated maxillary incisor: A case report

Abstract: Dilaceration is one of the causes of permanent maxillary incisor eruption failure. It is a developmental distortion of the form of a tooth that commonly occurs in permanent incisors as result of trauma to the primary predecessors whose apices lie close to the permanent tooth germ.We present a case of post-traumatic impaction of a dilacerated central maxillary left incisor in a young patient with a class II malocclusion.

“…10,13 In Case 2, the patient's history prior to tooth impaction, in association with a traumatic episode involving the MCI's predecessor, demonstrates that traumatology is an important etiological factor of this pathology and is usually responsible for the dilaceration of MCIs that prompts impaction. 14,15 Dilaceration refers to the displacement of a tooth's root in relation to its normal alignment with the crown. 16 Such deformity can pose complications for impacted tooth treatment since the curved root can affect the adjacent teeth or enter the labial cortical bone, which causes pulp and periapical problems.…”

“…Leyland et al (2006) concluded that in the majority of cases, spontaneous eruption of an impacted MPCI occurs, after removal of associated supernumerary teeth, if sufficient space is available. On the other hand, several authors have reported the need for supernumerary tooth removal and orthodontic traction for an impacted MPCI (Cozza et al, 2003; Thosar and Vibhute, 2006). Due to the lack of conclusive evidence towards either treatment modality, a bonded attachment is often placed at the same time as removal of any obstruction to prevent a second procedure under general anaesthetic in the event the MCPI does not spontaneously erupt (Seehra et al, 2018).…”

“…3,7 El tratamiento que involucra la tracción trae consigo un alto riesgo de anquilosis, posible reabsorción o dilaceración radicular, decoloración del diente y compromiso periodontal; por ello en casos muy complejos, se prefiere la exodoncia con subsecuente colocación de un implante. 8,9 Para disminuir los riesgos de la tracción, se recomienda que se use la técnica cerrada, esta ayudará a mejorar la estética y la salud periodontal con un margen gingival adecuado al final del tratamiento; 7 en el presente caso se seleccionó esta técnica para el abordaje quirúrgico.…”
