Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the method of induced eruption on multiple adjacent impacted teeth in anterior maxillary bone.
METHODSTwenty-two multiple adjacent impacted teeth of 9 cases were chosen. The position of the impacted teeth and the relationship to each other were assessed on X-ray images, oral examination and plaster model. The impacted teeth were extracted or induced erupted with the closed-eruption technique and fixed orthodontic appliances.
RESULTSOf 22 impacted teeth, 19 impacted teeth were moved into arches by induced eruption with the closed-eruption technique and fixed orthodontic appliances. There were not root adsorption or conglutination for 19 impacted teeth. Three impacted teeth with deformed root were extracted. The average time for treatment was 19 months.
CONCLUSIONWith correct diagnosis, reasonable design, the complicated impacted teeth could be moved into alignment with good esthetic and functional effect.
