Abstract

The impaction of maxillary permanent canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem, especially on the palate. The causes for retarded eruption of the teeth may be either generalized or localized, and its diagnosis is based on both specific clinical and radiographic examinations. Combined periodontal-orthodontic treatment has been efficient when a prognostic and adequate technique is assured to preserve the integrity of the tissues around the canine teeth. This review illustrates clinical cases of maxillary impacted canines and procedures to bring them to normal axial inclination on the dental arch.
