Abstract

Unerupted upper central incisor is not a common problem in oral cavity, but it is important to be treated as soon as possible because it can impact on esthetic, confidence, mental status, personality and patient’s pronunciation in the future. It is a frequent reason for parents to take their child to the dentist for treatment. This report reveals a case study of an 11-year-old Thai boy whose unerupted right upper central incisor has previously been treated with primary right upper incisors (51 and 52) extraction and surgical removal of a mesiodens at 7 years old and waiting for spontaneous eruption of permanent right upper central incisor. The radiograph showed the permanent right upper central incisor (11) was located high beneath the floor of nasal cavity. Therefore, autotransplantation of tooth 11 was performed and bony socket was prepared with alveolar ridge expansion technique. The treatment outcome was satisfying. In this report, the diagnosis and management of unerupted upper central incisors were discussed.
