Abstract

There are several techniques available to the practitioner for the treatment of impacted, fully developed teeth. These techniques often involve surgical and/or orthodontic manipulation of the affected tooth. A more conservative approach was used in the case presented here, involving a boy who was 12 years 5 months old. An odontoma was surgically removed and the impacted tooth was allowed to erupt without the aid of external forces.
