  • Title: Use of the apically repositioned flap in the management of labially impacted maxillary central incisors.
    Author: Ong M, Chew MT.
    Journal: Singapore Dent J; 2004 Dec; 26(1):55-9. PubMed ID: 15736843.
    Abstract:
    Management of labially impacted maxillary central incisors often requires a coordinated surgical and orthodontic approach. In such cases, the treatment objective is surgical exposure of the unerupted incisor, preferably with a functional width of keratinized gingiva on the labial surface. Tooth exposure is then followed by orthodontic intervention to move the tooth to the line of occlusion. This paper describes three cases where the apically repositioned flap technique was used to manage labially impacted maxillary central incisors.
