Abstract
Introduction Dilaceration of the permanent teeth usually occurs because of trauma to their deciduous predecessors. Dilaceration in the crown is rare compared with that in the root and is more common in the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Generally, surgical exposure of the tooth followed by orthodontic traction or extraction of the tooth is the the choice of treatment. Methods This article highlights a surgical-endodontic approach to the management of the left permanent maxillary central incisor with dilaceration of the crown. Results The 1-year follow-up showed good stability of the prosthesis and good periodontal health. Conclusions Surgical resection of the crown followed by endodontic treatment and restoration is a viable and rapid option for the management of crown dilaceration.
