Abstract: Ectopic tooth eruption is a change in the pattern of eruption and final position of a tooth. So, during orthodontic handling possible should be considered the reposition or exodontia of tooth affected. When extraction is indicated, consider certain physiological changes in the alveolus after the absence of the tooth. Variation in the dimensions of the socket area may affect future results of treatment. The objective of this paper is to present a case report of attempted preservation of facial bone in lower incisor area during a management plan corrective orthodontic that involved extraction ectopic right lower central incisor. We performed the extraction of tooth 41, with topical tetracycline application diluted in alveolus, for five minutes and final positioning particulate demineralized and hydrated bone graft. Finally sutured and periodontal dressing placed for eight days. Clinical assessment was held at 15 and 30 days, of which no signs of inflammation and pain report, it was decided the placement of fixed orthodontic appliances. From the above we can conclude, the integrated management in dentistry can optimize the aesthetic and functional results. Specifically, orthodontics can be favored different surgical strategies. Where in this case the attempt to preserve the ridge profile anterior inferior buccal constituted an alternative to try to reduce the consequences of tooth 41 extractions for orthodontic purposes.
