title: Management of impacted cuspids using 3-D volumetric imaging.
abstract: Management of impacted cuspids is a complex clinical problem involving proper assessment and interdisciplinary treatment planning. In this paper, we describe the use of 3-D volumetric imaging in the management of impacted cuspids and illustrate this application in case reports of maxillary and mandibular impacted cuspids.
