Abstract
The maxillary incisors are very important for esthetics and body function of a person. there are several instances when the maxillary incisors either are delayed in erupting or totally fail to erupt. The unerupted tooth may be associated with various factors. Most common factors associated with impacted teeth include supernumerary teeth, odontoma, cysts, crown or root malformation, or ectopic development of tooth germ. But a Radicular cyst has been rarely reported with a dilacerated impacted maxillary central incisor. This case report presents the case of a 22 year old male patient with impacted permanent maxillary left incisor which was found to be inverted and also dilacerated at the cervical level after CBCT examination.A radiolucency was also appreciable around the crown. The case was surgically managed.
Keywords: Radicular cyst, Dilaceration, Impaction, Impacted tooth, Impacted Maxillary Central Incisor.
