Canine impactions in Orthodontics

Canine impaction is recognized by chance by general dentists or orthodontists when a patient comes to their office for a routine check-up. Therefore, it is very important to inform dental practitioners about this frequently occurring phenomenon in everyday clinical practice and to emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent possible harmful consequences. Patients diagnosed with tooth impaction should be referred to an orthodontist and a dental surgeon for consultation and further treatment. The importance of an interdisciplinary approach between orthodontists, and dental surgeons regarding the management of impacted teeth is crucial and is explained in this book. The etiology, diagnosis, management, and literature review are given in this book with pictures for easy understanding of the topic.
