Open Surgical Exposure of Labially Impacted Maxillary Canine: Periodontal Aspect of 2 Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem in orthodontic therapy. When a preventive approach fails, treatment involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the dental arch. The primary goal of surgical phase is to provide the means for correct position of orthodontic anchorage. Additionally, the technique used must ensure favorable tissue anatomy that will permit long-term maintenance of periodontal health. This report describes the periodontal perspective in management of two cases with labially impacted maxillary canines. Also, the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal esthetic and functional outcomes has been highlighted.

The orthodontic records of 685 patients referred for surgical exposure of an unerupted impacted maxillary canine tooth were examined. The condition was more common among females than males, slightly less than 2:1. The impacted teeth had a palatal-labial ratio of 3:1. All of the teeth were exposed using the open surgical technique and in 98% of cases the tooth erupted and was orthodontically ali...
