Abstract

Impaction of maxillary central incisor is not frequently reported in literature. Impacted maxillary incisors are rare and detrimental to aesthetic problems in permanent dentition stage. The term dilaceration describes an abrupt deviation of the long axis of the crown or root portion of a tooth. Dilaceration generally occurs following trauma to the apices of deciduous dentition, which lies is close proximity to the permanent tooth buds.
