A review of the diagnosis and management of impacted maxillary canines
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Impacted teeth are those which are not predictable and do not erupt absolutely based on clinical and radiographic assessment. Certain impactions can be complicated and the outcome unpredictable if the tooth is positioned unfavorably either horizontally or vertically in the alveolar bone. Presence of canines buccally, palatally or lingually can be known by various diagnostic methods. Factors that interfere with its development and eruption had serious consequences on esthetics, function and stability of stomatognathic system. The authors conducted a literature review regarding the clinical and radiographic diagnoses of impacted maxillary canines, as well as the interceptive treatment (including surgical and orthodontic management) used to prevent or properly treat impacted canines.
