Marsupialization of a dentigerous cyst followed by orthodontic traction of two retained teeth: A case report

Ivano Maltoni et al. Int Orthod. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

This case report discussed a combined surgical-orthodontic rescue of two impacted teeth in a large dentigerous cyst by the means of fixed orthodontic appliances. After careful evaluation of the 3D radiographic exams, extraction of the deciduous elements was carried out, followed by marsupialization and orthodontic traction of the impacted teeth. Surgical procedures, pre- and posttreatment records and orthodontic biomechanical evaluations are discussed.
