Treatment of root fracture of immature maxillary permanent central incisor combined with impacted supernumerary tooth in the apical region: a case report

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2025.2025169

Abstract

Abstract:

Dental trauma is a common oral condition in children. For single-type trauma to young permanent teeth, timely treatment often results in a high survival rate for both the teeth and the pulp. However, in cases of complex dental trauma or when supernumerary teeth are impacted near the apex of the injured tooth, the prognosis is less predictable. This article reports a case of root fracture in an immature maxillary permanent central incisor combined with impacted supernumerary tooth in the apical region. After supernumerary tooth extraction and pulp revascularization therapy, the case demonstrated a good treatment outcome over a nearly 10-year follow-up period.

Key words: immature permanent central incisor, root fracture, supernumerary tooth, root resorption, pulp revascularization
