Maxillary impacted canine is one of the most common entity which a clinician encountered in day to life. The management canines need precise diagnosis and careful application biomechanics for optimum result. In this article 2 different case reports have been discussed were treated with mechanotherapy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the position and aspects of maxillary canine impactions in the Korean population and investigate its comparison with the previous reports, while aiding in the establishment of diagnosis and treatment planning by revealing the influential factors of root resorption associated with such impactions. The subjects of this study consisted of 186 teeth from 14...

The purpose of this study was to compare the mesio-distal and vertical position impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs with labio-palatal root resorption adjacent teeth CBCT (ConeBeam Computed Tomography). A total 54 patients 69 were included in study. On radiographs, (Sector I - V), position, angulation evaluated. Labio-palatal evaluated CBCT. Labial impaction most frequent sector...
