Treatment modality of impacted central incisor associated with dentigerous cyst and compound odontome

Abstract

Impacted tooth is frequently encountered in dental practice. But the impacted tooth associated with supernu­merary tooth and dentigerous cyst in anterior region is very rare case. The present case reports the successful management of impacted right central incisor with multiple odontome and dentigerous cyst by surgical inter­vention and orthodontic extrusion. Close eruption technique was applied after enucleation of cyst and extrac­tion of odontome. Thirty grams traction force was applied after bonding in the labial surface of impacted tooth. Subsequently fixed orthodontic technique was applied to get impacted central incisor into occlusion.
