Two-stage incisor transplant and orthodontic space redistribution.
This report describes a complex case with unerupted upper anterior teeth and other dental anomalies requiring the two-stage incisor transplantation technique in conjunction with two phases of orthodontic treatment. The case illustrates the benefits of careful planning and of limiting treatment goals to the needs and perceptions of the patient. The final result also emphasizes the aesthetic dental improvements now possible with a multidisciplinary approach.
