Root resorption: another long-term outcome.
Case history is presented of an indigenous Zambian girl. Initial surgical repositioning is shown and at a later stage when the tooth had erupted into the nasolabial vestibule and an orthodontic correction was performed. Surgical trauma as well as orthodontic forces may have precipitated root resorption; however, the aim of saving a tooth has been achieved.
