“…This is followed by surgical uncovering of the impacted tooth by either the open technique (gingivectomy or apically displaced flap) or closed technique. Orthodontic traction and alignment in the post-surgical orthodontic phase complete the treatment 20 . Whenever an unerupted incisor is associated with a considerable pathology, has any chance of damaging the adjacent teeth and causing resorption, or is severely ectopic, extraction of the unerupted tooth is advocated 21 .…”

Impacted teeth are a frequent phenomenon encountered by every clinician. The artificial eruption of embedded teeth is the process of directing an impacted tooth into normal occlusion. This procedure is currently attracting attention, with the aim of finding the best technique to use according to each case. This article presents key information regarding impacted incisors, canines, and premolars. In addition, we describe the most common techniques to use for artificial eruption, the open and closed techniques. We review the literature concerning these techniques and outline how clinicians can manage every type of impacted tooth.

“…The attachment should incorporate a gold chain or traction ligature to facilitate the application of an orthodontic force. 48,49,50 Ideally, the attachment should be low profile and bonded to the palatal surface of the unerupted incisor to allow orthodontic traction to be applied in the most favourable direction and to reduce the risk of fenestration of the attachment through the thin overlying alveolar mucosa as the tooth is aligned. Clinical photographs taken with the flap raised and attachment bonded at the time of surgery may be helpful in planning the direction of future traction, especially if both permanent central incisors are unerupted.…”

National clinical guidelines for the management of unerupted maxillary incisors in children

This article summarises recently updated guidelines produced by the Clinical Governance Directorate of the British Orthodontic Society through the Clinical Standards Committee of the Faculty of Dental Surgery, Royal College of Surgeons of England (FDSRCS) on the management of unerupted maxillary incisor teeth in children. The maxillary incisor teeth usually erupt in the early mixed dentition but eruption disturbances can occur and are often attributable to local factors. A failure of eruption will affect the developing occlusion and potentially influence psychological development of the child. The general principles of management for delayed eruption or impaction of these teeth is to ensure that adequate space exists in the dental arch and to remove any obstruction to eruption. Consideration should also be given to further promoting eruption through surgical exposure of the incisor, with or without subsequent orthodontic traction. A number of factors influence the decision-making process, including patient age, medical history, potential compliance, aetiology and position of the unerupted incisor. Treatment planning should be complemented by careful clinical assessment and the use of appropriate special investigations. To optimise the treatment outcome a multidisciplinary specialist approach is recommended.

Practical and Theoretical Aspects of a Method of Orthodontic Traction to Unerupted Teeth Illustrated by Three Cases

Abstract: The methods of orthodontic management of unerupted teeth are critically discussed. The indications and contra-indications of the relatively new technique of gold chain traction via a directly bonded attachment are given. Three case reports illustrate different aspects of the technique.
