Abstract
The term “impacted teeth” refers to dentition that is partly or completely impacted in bone or soft tissue after eruption should have been completed although eruption age is completed not replaced in dental arc. The most commonly impacted teeth in the anterior region are maxillary canines, while the prevalence of impacted maxillary incisors ranges from 0.06% to 0.2%. Impacted maxillary incisors are of particular concern because they adversely affect a patient both aesthetically and psychologically at an early age. This case report investigates the replacement of an impacted right maxillary central incisor with the patient’s own tooth. The incisor was extracted surgically, space was created with fixed orthodontic treatment, and a fiber-reinforced composite dental bridge was created using the extracted tooth.
