Abstract
Impaction of the permanent maxillary central incisor is rare. Trauma to the primary maxillary anterior teeth is the most common cause. Two case reports of impacted permanent maxillary central incisors with a history of trauma to the primary maxillary anterior teeth are presented. In one case there was radiographic evidence of complete arrest of root formation, and in the other case the root was dilacerated from the cervical third and the enamel surface was rough.
