An 18-year-old girl was brought to our hospital by her parents with a complaint of spacing between her upper teeth. She wanted to align her teeth to enhance her smile and appearance.
She had an overretained maxillay deciduous left canine. A 3D CBCT scan showed permanent canine was impacted (deeply embedded in an abnormal position in the jaw bone). Maxillofacial Surgeon & Implantologist Dr. S.M. Balaji surgically removed the impacted tooth along with the deciduous tooth and placed an immediate implant in the same socket. Bone graft from the chin was taken to completely close the residual bone defect after removal of impacted tooth and to further fortify the bone for implant stability. Following osseointegration of the implant with the bone, ceramic crown will be fixed giving her a beautiful smile that enhances her appearance.
