Description
Summary:Although orthodontic repositioning of impacted teeth is widely used, the treatment has its limitations. Autotransplantation or intra‐alveolar surgical repositioning of teeth is an alternative therapy that may be used in selected cases of desperate impactions, when orthodontic extrusion is unsuccessful or when orthodontic treatment is rejected by the patient. A case report is presented to stress both the indications and limitations of a modified technique of intra‐alveolar surgical uprighting of impacted teeth.
