Title: Orthodontic management of dilacerated teeth in mixed dentition treatment

Abstract

Dilaceration is a dental deformity characterized by an angulation between crown and root causing non eruption of the tooth. It generally occurs following trauma to the deciduous dentition whose apices lie close to the permanent tooth buds. Surgical extraction used to be the first choice in treating the severely dilacerated teeth. In this lecture therapeutic strategies to recover from dental dilacerations are described. The main diagnostic problem is definitely the difficulty of radiological diagnosis of the exact morphology of the dilacerated tooth and predicting if it will be possible to reposition it into the arch. It is therefore difficult to establish the prognosis. It depends on both the seriousness and position of tthe dilaceration as well as the formation of the root. A dilacerated tooth with a crown-root obtuse angle, a position near the marginal crest and incomplete formation of the root has better prognosis for orthodontic traction. Correct diagnosis for successfull treatment is mandatory to management the case by orthodontic treatment or prosthetic/implant devices.
