Abstract
Aims: For the orthodontic treatment of the complex cases, the interdisciplinary team work is of utmost importance, which leads to the predictable outcome with excellent treatment. The prime aim of this rare case report is to demonstrate the combined orthodontic-surgical-endodontic-prosthodontic interdisciplinary management.
Presentation of Case: This report describes the case of a 19 years old Malay male patient with the clinical problems of median diastema, mesio-buccally rotated maxillary left 1st premolar, mild mandibular incisor crowding along with impacted maxillary left lateral incisor and canine.
Discussion: With the advantages of the orthodontic fixed appliance, auto-transplantation of maxillary upper left lateral incisor and canine, the case was completed in an ideal orthodontic occlusion along with improved oral condition, masticatory function and esthetics. The treatment outcomes were due to orthodontic-surgical-endodontic-prosthodontic treatment with stable occlusion in sequels visits.
