  • Title: Modified apically repositioned flap in the treatment of unerupted maxillary central incisors.
    Author: Crean SJ, Banu B, Coonar H.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2000 Apr; 27(3):137-9. PubMed ID: 11218284.
    Abstract:
    The successful management of labially unerupted maxillary central incisors requires a coordinated surgical, orthodontic and general practitioner approach. The key to achieving maximal eruption of these teeth is their surgical exposure, central to which is the philosophy that the surgeon must provide a functional width of attached gingiva on the labial surface. This case describes the incorporation of palatal mucosa into an apically repositioned flap, resulting in the successful establishment of an attached gingival margin, where routine flap design would have seriously compromised the eventual outcome.
