Orthodontic management of impacted maxillary cuspids. 1997

R Rupp

Many problems have been associated with the eruption of maxillary canines and careful supervision and early diagnosis of disturbances in eruption are portentous. A review of the literature concerning the impaction and treatment of the maxillary cuspids, followed by a case report, is presented. Incidence of impactions; most frequent location of impactions; common treatment for impactions; and etiology are discussed. Risks involved are enumerated. A case report of impacted maxillary cuspids utilizing a two-phase treatment (Sagittal II, Wilson 3D quad action, and straight wire appliance) is presented.
