Abstract
- This case report describes the treatment of an impacted tooth in relation to pediatric mandibular fracture. A 10-year-old girl presented with an impacted mandibular canine related with a miniplate in the left mandibular body area. An ordinary surgical traction ended in failure. Good occlusion was established by removal of the miniplate. It would be considered important to make an exact diagnosis of the cause and remove the mechanical obstruction instantly for successful orthodontic treatment of an impacted tooth.
