Abstract

The present paper emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of retarded eruption because of trauma and the plan for the surgical management of impacted teeth. The permanent incisor was local-ized horizontally on the nasal spine and the roots seemed to be in a retarded stage of formation beside of contralateral tooth. The treatment plan consisted in the valuation of the necessity of space to move the impacted incisor in the normal position and the biomechanical approach for the anchorage.
