Abstract

Dilaceration is one of the causes of permanent maxillary incisor eruption failure. It is a developmen-tal distortion of the form of a tooth that commonly occurs in permanent incisors as result of trauma to the primary predecessors whose apices lie close to the permanent tooth germ. We present a case of post-traumatic impaction of a dilacerated central maxillary left incisor in a young patient with a class II malocclusion.
