Abstract

Here, we report a case of 10-year-old boy who came with a complaint of missing upper front teeth and was also concerned about his aesthetics. Significant history of trauma was present in his toddler period. Diagnosis of malformed upper right central incisor (11) by radiological investigations was carried out. Surgery was performed and there was removal of the impacted malformed upper right central incisor (11). Healing was uneventful. The patient is under follow-up for aesthetic rehabilitation to be carried out.
