Dilaceration is one of the causes of maxillary central incisor eruption failure. Surgical excision is frequently the first choice of treatment for a severely dilacerated incisor. In this article, the case of a horizontally impacted and dilacerated maxillary central incisor was diagnosed and treated by surgical exposure using the apically repositioned flap technique combined with orthodontic traction. The dilacerated incisor was successfully moved into alignment, with pulpal vitality and periodontal health present 2 years following treatment.
