Surgical removal of impacted 48 tooth and extraction of 18 with severe dilaceration done under LA. 👍🏻
Dilaceration is a developmental disturbance in shape of teeth. It refers to an angulation, or a sharp bend or curve, in the root or crown of a formed tooth.
Dilaceration poses difficulty in treating the tooth endodontically or during removal of the tooth. The root tends to fracture often along the sharp angulation of the root curvature or the curvature gives very strong resistance to luxating and moving the tooth out.
