Surgical exposure and orthodontic alignment of an unerupted primary maxillary second molar impacted by an odontoma and a dentigerous cyst: a case report. 1990

W Motokawa, and R L Braham, and M E Morris, and M Tanaka

This report describes the surgical and orthodontic management of a 3-year old girl with an unerupted primary maxillary second molar impacted by an odontoma and a dentigerous cyst. Following surgical removal of the odontoma and dentigerous cyst, further surgical intervention and orthodontic traction were required to bring the primary maxillary second molar into correct occlusion with resultant proper functioning and good periodontal health.
