| Abstract: | Impacted maxillary permanent central incisor is not a frequently reported case in our dental practice. Dilaceration
is one of the causes of failure of eruption of permanent maxillary incisor. It is a developmental anomaly of the form
of a tooth that commonly occurs in permanent incisors .We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with an impacted
central incisor in the maxillary region managed at Dr.H.Gordon Roberts's hospital, Meghalaya, India. The tooth
was completely upside down with the crown facing towards the nasal floor and the root towards the alveolar
process with severe dilaceration. Surgical removal of the impacted central incisor was performed under local
anesthesia without disturbing the floor of the nose. |
