Abstract
Delayed eruption is one of dental eruption deviation characterized by delay of dental
eruption. Delayed eruption can be caused by local factor such as impacted tooth. This
can be managed surgically and then orthodontically brought into the dental arch. An
eleven years old girl came to the dental clinic specialist of FKG-UNPAD Bandung,
with the chief complaint of having non-erupted upper left permanent central incisor,
without retention of 61. Other 3 upper incisor, 11, 22, 12 have erupted normally.
Panoramic examination showed impacted 11 in the alveolar bone with complete apex
formation. Following the cephalometric and model analysis, the fixed orthodontic
appliances were placed, followed by surgical exposure to open the impacted area then
placed an orthodontic bracket with an attached chain to apply orthodontic forces on
the tooth to aid its movement into the line of occlusion. After 6 months treatment,
patient’s esthetics and masticatory function were obtain, marked by normal position of
21 in the arch.
