Owing to a clinical investigation and radiographswe can define the presence and position of impactedtooth. THE AIM: of work was the gathering of informationwhich themed localizations of that canine. This paperdescribes indices used for assessing the position of impactedcanines on radiographs which are made as a routinecomplement of clinical examination. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS: In the work we use the literature in which themost often indices dealing with impacted maxillary canine and tool in orthodontic diagnostics are used. To search out adequate articles the authors used an internet database suchas Pub Med, Medline, EBSCO. The key words were: impactedteeth , indices, panoramic radiographs, permanentupper canine. For realization of the aim of this study thepanoramic views for visualization described indexes havebeen used. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 33 articleswere selected for the sake of their consideration with thesubject of investigations. Authors have also used panoramicviews of patients from the Orthodontic Department ofthe Pomeranian Medical University.
