Abstract
The combined surgical-orthodontic technique used in this case (closed eruption towards the center of the alveolar ridge associated with conservative periodontal surgery, the acid-etch technique, and controlled orthodontic traction) simulates physiological tooth eruption and results in proper alignment with good periodontal results. It should thus be regarded as the treatment of choice for impacted teeth whose eruption is not precluded by the position of the tooth and/or the presence of ankylosis.
