Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In a special article entitled, "Impacted Maxillary Canines: A Review," Samir E. Bishara states: "The ectopic eruption and impaction of maxillary permanent canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem. The diagnosis and treatment of this problem usually requires the expertise and cooperation of the general practitioner, the paediatric dentist, the oral surgeon, and the periodontist, as well as the orthodontist." We will review the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of impacted maxillary canines. A technique will be outlined that allows a competent orthodontic clinician to singly, efficiently and reliably treat this common problem without reference to a myriad of specialists.
