Impacted maxillary canines present significant esthetic, functional, and surgical challenges for dental clinicians. This article introduces a CBCT-guided, 3D-assisted diagnostic and treatment protocol supported by a novel, clinically driven classification system. Three management strategies are outlined: extraction with implant placement, implant placement through the impacted canine, and prosthetic alternatives when surgical risks are excessive. The proposed framework facilitates interdisciplinary planning, improves surgical precision, and supports predictable, patient-specific outcomes in complex clinical scenarios.
