- Abstract
As a result of early trauma to the anterior maxilla, various kinds of problems may occur. Patients frequently present for orthodontic treatment due to unerupted teeth. The eruption of impacted teeth in the anterior region is especially important in terms of esthetics, and treatment can help patients regain their self-confidence. Three-dimensional evaluation of the position of the impacted tooth in the bone relative to the roots of its neighboring teeth highly increases the chance of success in determining the correct force and direction for forced eruption. This study presents the orthodontic treatment of a 16-year-old boy whose central incisor was impacted horizontally. After the position of the tooth was determined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), appropriate force was implemented and the impacted tooth was successfully erupted.
