Orthodontic treatment of an impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisor combined with surgical exposure and apicoectomy.
The impacted incisor was moved into its proper position with surgical exposure and orthodontic traction. Although apicoectomy was performed during the orthodontic treatment, the incisor showed good stability after the long retention period.
