Abstract

|
|
|
Impaction of maxillary incisor is rare than the third molar and canine, but its rate is higher than the other anterior teeth due to frequent mesiodens, trauma and variation of root formation (root dilaceration etc.). It is often observed in the dental age of about eight years and over. It will be occurred that the space loss, midline deviation and cyst formation due to the impaction of maxillary incisor. So it is important to evaluate the precise location of impacted tooth and to make appropriate treatment plan. Treatment would be surgical extraction or expectation for spontaneous eruption. If the impacted tooth has no pathologic change and development of the root is favorable, orthodontic traction is recommended for recovery of function and esthetics. In these cases, we performed orthodontic traction for the eruption of impacted maxillary incisors, and obtained satisfactory results.
