Abstract

Impacted maxillary central incisor is occasionally reported in dental practice, but quite important because it could significantly affect a child facial esthetics, psychology, and induce a problem of pronunciation in the future. Early detection of such teeth is important. Complications frequently encountered are poor clinical outcome, psychology, duration of treatment and cost for treatment. It should be managed as early as possible. Artificial eruption is one choice of treatment that is useful because it is applicable in early mixed dentition. This article describes a case of a 9-year-old male with an impacted left maxillary central incisor. The child was treated by 2×4 appliance combined with artificial eruption using closed eruption technique and the application of an orthodontic force brought the impacted maxillary central incisor down to its proper position. This approach showed favorable outcomes.
