Abstract
Abstract The clinical management of impacted incisors affected by root dilaceration is challenging. This case report presents the treatment of an adolescent female patient who presented with a deeply impacted, rotated and dilacerated maxillary central incisor and also reviews the current literature on the definition, prevalence, aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the anomaly. The impacted and dilacerated incisor was successfully orthodontically treated following a two-stage surgical exposure and after being rotated 100 degrees in the sagittal plane (due to the deep impaction and severe displacement). A Ballista spring and piggyback appliance technique were used to elevate the tooth. The dilacerated incisor was successfully preserved and relocated in the dental arch. The pre-operative and post-operative CBCT scans showed no significant root resorption of the repositioned tooth.
期刊介绍：
The Australasian Orthodontic Journal (AOJ) is the official scientific publication of the Australian Society of Orthodontists.
Previously titled the Australian Orthodontic Journal, the name of the publication was changed in 2017 to provide the region with additional representation because of a substantial increase in the number of submitted overseas'' manuscripts. The volume and issue numbers continue in sequence and only the ISSN numbers have been updated.
The AOJ publishes original research papers, clinical reports, book reviews, abstracts from other journals, and other material which is of interest to orthodontists and is in the interest of their continuing education. It is published twice a year in November and May.
The AOJ is indexed and abstracted by Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
