“…The present study demonstrated that almost half of the patients with impacted maxillary canines have other associated dental anomalies. This finding is in agreement with other studies, where a high percentage of patients with impacted canines have other associated anomalies . It also highlights the fact that palatally‐ and buccally‐impacted canines can occur in dentitions without other dental deviations.…”

“…Our results regarding the gender distribution, type of occurrence, and localization of impacted canines resemble those found in the literature,6,15,19,20,21 although some studies showed a tendency towards buccal impactions 7,15. The association between gender and the location of impacted canines was not significant, although women presented palatally impacted canines more often.…”

PurposeTo describe the features of impacted upper canines and their relationship with adjacent structures through three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.Materials and MethodsUsing the CBCT scans of 79 upper impacted canines, we evaluated the following parameters: gender, unilateral/bilateral occurrence, location, presence and degree of root resorption of adjacent teeth (mild, moderate, or severe), root dilaceration, dental follicle width, and presence of other associated local conditions.ResultsMost of the impacted canines were observed in females (56 cases), unilaterally (51 cases), and at a palatine location (53 cases). Root resorption in adjacent teeth and root dilaceration were observed in 55 and 47 impacted canines, respectively. In most of the cases, the width of the dental follicle of the canine was normal; it was abnormally wide in 20 cases. A statistically significant association was observed for all variables, except for root dilaceration (p=0.115) and the side of impaction (p=0.260).ConclusionRoot resorption of adjacent teeth was present in most cases of canine impaction, mostly affecting adjacent lateral incisors to a mild degree. A wide dental follicle of impacted canines was not associated with a higher incidence of external root resorption of adjacent teeth.

“…Lack of space in the dental arch, trauma, and loss of primary teeth as well as a genetic component are pointed out as etiological factors [8, 9]. The facial impaction of a maxillary permanent canine is usually more frequent in crowded dental arches, while palatal impaction usually shows no association with any particular malocclusion [7].…”

Objective. The purpose of this study was to present a case report that demonstrated primary failure in a tooth traction that was subsequently treated with apicotomy technique. Case Report. A 10-year-old girl had an impacted upper right canine with increased pericoronal space, which was apparent on a radiographic image. The right maxillary sinus showed an opacity suggesting sinusitis. The presumptive diagnosis was dentigerous cyst associated with maxillary sinus infection. The plan for treatment included treatment of the sinus infection and cystic lesion and orthodontic traction of the canine after surgical exposure and bonding of an orthodontic appliance. The surgical procedure, canine position, root dilaceration, and probably apical ankylosis acted in the primary failure of the orthodontic traction. Surgical apical cut of the displaced teeth was performed, and tooth position in the dental arch was possible, with a positive response to the pulp vitality test. Conclusion. Apicotomy is an effective technique to treat severe canine displacement and primary orthodontic traction failure of palatally displaced canines.
