Unlabelled:
The aim of this study was to assess the management of impacted teeth using surgical-orthodontic techniques at a dental treatment centre in Casablanca and to suggest strategies designed to enhance treatment of dental impaction.
Materials And Methods:
The sample comprised 30 patients represented by their clinical files (mean age: 17 years; standard deviation: 8.141).
Results:
Impaction most often involved a single tooth (56.7%), generally the upper canine (66%). The location was buccal in 43.3% of cases and generally high (63.3%). Presurgical orthodontic treatment was required in 80 of these cases. A closed eruption technique is reported in 93.1% of cases. Mean treatment duration was 11.4 months. The success rate of the surgical technical technique was 70%.
Discussion:
A similarity exists between most of the variables studied and findings of other studies published on the same topic.
