Summary

Impacted upper permanent canines can cause incisor root resorption, a damaging outcome that is difficult to predict. Early management is crucial for all impacted canine cases to prevent potential harm.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Impacted permanent canines are a common orthodontic concern.
  • Incisor root resorption is a potential complication of canine impaction.
  • Predicting the occurrence of resorption is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the incidence and outcomes of incisor root resorption associated with impacted upper permanent canines.
  • To review factors linked to canine impaction and root resorption.
  • To discuss management strategies for impacted canines.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on incisor root resorption and impacted upper permanent canines.
  • Analysis of associated factors contributing to resorption.
  • Case examples illustrating management approaches.

Main Results:

  • The incidence and outcome of incisor root resorption vary.
  • It is not currently possible to reliably predict when resorption will occur.
  • Both buccal and palatal impacted canines pose a risk of damage.

Conclusions:

  • All impacted upper permanent canines, regardless of their position (buccal or palatal), should be considered potentially damaging to adjacent incisors.
  • Proactive management strategies are essential for impacted canine cases to mitigate the risk of incisor root resorption.
  • Further research may be needed to improve prediction of resorption risk.
