Abstract :
Impaction of canine teeth is a clinical problem whose treatment
usually requires an interdisciplinary approach. After the maxillary
third molar, the maxillary canine is the second-most commonly impacted
tooth, with an incidence of 1% - 2.5%. Maxillary canines are more common
in females than males. This study reviews the surgical treatments and
orthodontic considerations for impacted canines exposure reported in
previous studies. The clinician should be aware of variations in the
surgical management of labially and palatally impacted canines, as well
as the most common methods of canine in orthodontic application, and the
implications of canine extraction. The different factors that affect
these decisions are discussed.
