ABSTRACT

A clinical case of a ten-year-old female patient is hereby presented. She had multiple dental inclusions (#13, 11, 23, 33, 34) as well as the maxillary right canine out of its eruption place: it was in the place of the maxillary right central incisor. Teeth #12 and 22 were abnormally shaped. It was chosen to perform orthodontic treatment with extraction of teeth #11, 23, 33 and pull the maxillary right canine in place of the maxillary right central incisor, maintaining both temporary teeth #53 and 63. A correct functional-occlusion was achieved with anterior guidance and group function at laterality movements.
