- Abstract
Impacted maxillary permanent incisor is a challenge for Oral Surgeon and Orthodontist. The incidence of this case is the third highest after unerupted third molars and canines and is more common in Asian races. Orthodontists and the oral surgeon must collaborate to define why the teeth are impacted. This report aims to describe the importance of interdisciplinary management and communication between the orthodontist and oral surgeon. This case report presents a patient 10-year-old boy with unerupted maxillary right permanent central incisor. The orthodontist and oral surgeon diagnosed it caused by odontoma. After the odontoma was removed, the tooth above the odontoma was seen mimicking the maxillary permanent central incisors. Further exploration and re-analysis show that the suspected tooth was a primary tooth that could not erupt. After a discussion, it was decided to take the primary teeth and re-explore them to look for permanent incisors. After four months of orthodontic treatment, permanent teeth erupted completely and the patient was very satisfied. Interdisciplinary management is very important to determine the right diagnosis and the success of the treatment.
