Orthodontic surgical treatment in a patient with maxillary impacted canine teeth
Abstract
Introduction: Orthodontic surgical treatment could be a therapy of choice for the impacted canines, as they should be kept in the dental arches for their functional and aesthetic benefits. The bilateral impaction of these in the maxillary bone is less frequent and their treatment is more complex.
Objective: To describe the results of the orthodontic surgical treatment in a female patient with bilateral impaction of upper canines.
Case report: A 16-year-old female patient with a health history was assisted by a general dentist in the company of the mother, because she was worried about the aspect of her cupids which were whiter and littler. The oral examination showed the presence of a permanent and complete dentition with the exception of the upper canines, in their place, were teeth number 53 and 63. It was also found an abnormal relief in the anterior zone of the hard palate with a slight increase of volume at palpation. It was taken panoramic and periapical X-ray and it was confirmed the presence of both impacted teeth. It was made orthodontic surgical treatment.
Conclusions: Orthodontic surgical treatment gave back the patient the function and aesthetic by means of the correct location of both teeth in the dental arches.
