– Tooth dilaceration refers to a dental anomaly characterized by an abrupt deviation in the longitudinal axis of tooth. Crown–root dilaceration is diagnosed in teeth with sharp angles at the cement–enamel junction. The greater the bending degree is, the less chance there is for successful teeth preservation and relocation. In this report, a clinical case of an impacted maxillary central incisor with severe crown–root dilacerations was described by means of an operative evaluation using three‐dimensional dental computed tomography and a multidisciplinary approach that included surgical, orthodontic, endodontic, prosthetic and periodontal therapy.
