MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISORS WITH SUPERNUMERARY TEETH -A CASE REPORT

Impaction of maxillary central incisors is infrequent, its prevalence rate is much lower than impaction of canine and there are several factors associated with impaction of maxillary central incisors such as odontoma, cyst, supernumerary teeth, space loss, displaced follicle etc. This case report describes the clinical management of a young female patient with bilaterally impacted supernumerary teeth (mesiodens) and maxillary central incisors. A multidisciplinary treatment approach was planned, which included surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth and orthodontic management of impacted maxillary central incisors. After 11 months of surgical exposure incisors were aligned in the arch.
