Abstract
|
|
|
|
An impacted tooth may occur in horizontal, vertical, centripetal, or inverted form. The inverted form often occur in a mesiodens, but a permanent tooth may also take this form. Various treatments are available depending on the depth of the impaction, the space between the dental arch and the teeth, the relationship of the impacted tooth with the adjacent teeth, and potential future complications caused by the impaction. Typically, a tooth deviating from its normal position is an indication for extraction, unless it is supernumerary, it is often desirable to use a treatment method that preserves the impacted tooth. This case study described two successful cases involving pediatric patients at the Dental Hospital of Chosun University who were treated using surgical exposure and orthodontic traction.
