The horizontally impacted maxillary canine situated in a labial position.
Surgical management of unerupted teeth depends upon a thorough understanding of anatomic, physiologic and pathologic factors. Attention has been given to problems of eruption in the maxillary anterior region. It is a region where a variety of anomalies occur. Since the maxillary anterior region influences appearance so greatly, early detection of difficulties and careful planning and treatment can be extremely beneficial to patients. The purpose of this case report is to present a case of maxillary permanent canine impaction in a horizontal displacement that developed after loss of the deciduous canine to chronic apical periodontitis, and incomplete root resorption of the deciduous canine.
