ABSTRACT
Impaction of permanent teeth during the replacement period is a relatively common occurrence in clinical practice. Tooth impaction occurs in the presence of factors that inhibit tooth eruption, such as supernumerary teeth or tumors. This is a report of permanent tooth impaction due to supernumerary teeth and pericoronal myxofibrous hyperplasia (PMH), a type of pericoronal hamartomatous lesion. An eight-year-old girl was diagnosed with an unerupted right maxillary central incisor. An inverted supernumerary tooth was present on the palatal side of the impacted central incisor, and PMH developed on the labial side of the central incisor. Interestingly, the alveolar bone on the labial side had completely disappeared. After the extraction of the supernumerary tooth and the removal of the PMH, the central incisors erupted, and the labial alveolar bone regenerated normally. Treatment for impacted teeth typically involves the removal of any existing lesions. This case is unique in that the alveolar bone of the impacted tooth regenerated following the extraction of the supernumerary tooth and removal of the PMH.
