Abstract

Impacted canines are a common finding among patients who seek orthodontic treatment. Diagnosis of impacted canines is achieved through clinical and radiographic examination, and treatment planning is based on diagnostic findings and criteria that take into consideration the minimization of injury and preservation of periodontal health. Once orthodontic treatment is decided on, the attraction of impacted canines is accomplished by applying elastic chain directly to brackets adjacent to impacted canine teeth, to the orthodontic wire, to orthodontic screws, or to lingual or palatal bars or transpalatal bars with extensions, which are used as anchorage systems for the dental arch. The aim of this study is to review the etiology of canine impaction and to emphasize the importance of imaging and data processing in diagnosis. Additionally, we will evaluate different surgical methods and treatment options, with the help of cases presented in this paper. All cases were treated through interdisciplinary cooperation between an orthodontist and an oral surgeon.
