Abstract

Impaction of maxillary permanent incisor is not a frequently case in dental practice, but its treatment is challenging because of its importance to facial esthetics. Early detection of such teeth is most important if complications are to be avoided. An unusual case of impacted and inverted maxillary central incisor is reported in a 8 year old boy. Inverted maxillary central incisor was not associated with any other anomaly which is rare.
