ABSTRACT: Introduction: Root dilaceration is a rare anomaly of the dental root, often related to trauma during odontogenesis, which complicates clinical management. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to optimize aesthetic and functional results. Methodology: Methods include CBCT evaluation for accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan integrating orthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery to correct root angulation and restore aesthetics. Results: The procedures stabilized the dental arch and improved alignment and aesthetics. At follow-up, the stability of results and absence of complications were confirmed. Conclusion: This case illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach incorporating advanced imaging techniques, such as CBCT, to effectively treat root dilaceration and ensure optimal aesthetic and functional results.
