This case report presents the successful management of an immature permanent second mandibular premolar with an acute apical abscess and extensive apical bone loss caused by a dens evaginatus. This tooth was unexpectedly treated with long-term calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) that was replenished several times over 6 months.

Article Synopsis
- Upper canines are the second most commonly impacted teeth, after third molars, and early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications.
- A case study of an 11-year-old showed that with proper monitoring and the use of a removable orthodontic appliance, an impacted left maxillary canine could erupt naturally after 10 months.
- Early intervention is significant in pediatric dentistry, as it allows for effective treatment without resorting to surgical or fixed orthodontic methods.
