Management of the impacted or displaced maxillary canine.

Monitoring the normal development of the dentition is important to identify and treat potential problems and hence minimise the need for later, more complex therapy. This paper discusses some problems that may occur and the subsequent treatment of these problems, by illustration with five case reports.
