ACOSTA DE CAMARGO, María Gabriela; ISLER, Ludiana y DIAZ CUEVAS, Andrea. Management of anterior sector altered by impacted central incisor and ectopic eruption of canine: Case report. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.2, pp.177-189. Epub 29-Jun-2024. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v34i2.5536.
Tooth loss is common during childhood following bucco-dental trauma. Space management is an important issue that should be planned from an early age. Failure to intervene in a timely manner can lead to impacted permanent teeth, crowding, alterations in the eruption of neighboring teeth or malocclusions. This case report describes the dental management performed by a multidisciplinary team that included pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery and periodontics after dental avulsion and subsequent dental impaction and ectopic eruption. The treatment applied consisted of exodontia of the primary canine, distalization of tooth number 23 for correct placement and subsequent traction of tooth number 21, using fixed appliances. If there is premature loss of primary teeth in the anterior sector, the patient should be referred to a specialist to avoid possible consequences. The indicated therapy will depend on each particular case, individualizing needs, costs and benefits. The intervention in these cases should be timely by the treating team, especially when the child is in an important stage of development, both physically and psychologically. The resolution of complications in the anterior sector should be managed by a multidisciplinary group.
