Abstract
Because of the intimate physical link between the primary tooth and the permanent tooth germ, traumatic dental injuries in the primary dentition might impair the development of permanent teeth, particularly in the maxillary front region. Dilaceration is a condition that is commonly encountered as a result of dental trauma and is defined as an abrupt deviation along the long axis of the tooth that can be visible between the crown, root, or both. Due to their location within the esthetic zone, such teeth present a special difficulty to the pediatric dentist. This article aims to describe a case of a 09-year-old female patient with an ectopic permanent maxillary central incisor, which was diagnosed as dilacerated after the radiographic examination. The case was managed with an interceptive approach using a Hawley palate.
