Abstract

Maxillary canine is the most common impacted tooth except third molars. In Asian populations, labial impaction is more common than palatal impaction, but palatal impaction is three times more common than labial impaction in Caucasion. The incidence of maxillary canine impaction is known as 1~3%, and 12% of these cases are involved in the root resorption of the adjacent lateral incisor. In children, early diagnosis is important to prevent the impaction of maxillary canine through clinical and radiographic examinations. In addition, preventive measures should be considered at the proper time. These measures include the removal of deciduous canines and the expansion of the maxillary arch.
