Ortho-surgical Management of Palatally Impacted Canine – A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Maxillary canines are essential for function and esthetics. Patients with impacted maxillary canine are considered to be more difficult to treat than the average orthodontic patients because successful treatment requires proper surgical technique and orthodontic mechanisms. This case report describes the treatment of a 21-year-old male with a palatally impacted maxillary canine on left side and highly placed canine on right side and crowded lower anteriors. Using open window exposure with placement of an attachment, following by distal orthodontic force to bring the canine crown away from the root of lateral incisor, then buccal traction to guide canine into normal occlusion. We obtained favorable esthetics and stable occlusion. Keywords: palatally impacted canine, orthodontic traction, surgical exposure
