Abstract

In an orthodontic practice, it is common to deal with impacted teeth, which are one of the most difficult situations dealt with by dentists. This case report describes the surgical and orthodontic management of the impacted teeth in a large dentigerous cyst. In the initial stage of treatment, the cyst was marsupialized over 7 months. After decompression of the cyst, spontaneous eruptions of the impacted tooth were noticed. Then, they were orthodontically brought into the proper occlusion.
