Abstract
A case of unerupted maxillary left central incisor due to impedance from an odontome is presented. The problems associated with various modalities of management are highlighted in the light of current practical possibilities to achieve good aesthetics. Surgical removal of the impeding pathologic agent and orthodontic traction of the unerupted tooth remain the most viable advocated methods of treatment.
