Abstract
This case study offers a rare and difficult condition involving the impaction of teeth 11, 12, and 13, providing a severe dental challenge. A thorough examination was performed on the patient, which included clinical evaluations and radiographic examinations. Because the impacted teeth were causing discomfort and functional impairment, a multidisciplinary approach was required, which included surgical exposure followed by traction forces to level and align the impacted teeth. The abstract emphasizes the case's complexity, digging into the diagnosis process and the establishment of a personalized treatment strategy. The complexities of handling many impacted teeth are explored in length, including surgical intervention, orthodontic considerations, and postoperative care.
