ABSTRACT
Canine impactions are frequently encountered in the pediatric population. Impacted canines may pose a functional and esthetic problem for patients and can affect the neighboring teeth (incisors and premolars). Early detection and management of such pathology may help the pediatric dentist and orthodontist to prevent many unwanted local and regional complications. Various surgical and orthodontic techniques may be used to recover impacted maxillary canines. The decision to surgically correct these impacted teeth is usually made by the orthodontist. The treatment of impacted teeth requires a multidisciplinary team comprising orthodontist, pediatric dentist, dento-alveolar surgeon, and sometimes a periodontist.
