title: Impacted maxillary canines: diagnosis and management.
abstract: Canine impaction is a relatively frequent clinical presentation in dentistry, with challenges that should be resolved. A good understanding by the clinician of the situation and treatment options can have a significant impact on the treatment outcome. Therefore, clinicians should be competent to perform the proper investigation, provide a correct diagnosis, develop an optimum treatment plan, and render appropriate treatment for each individual patient so each patient realizes the best outcome possible.
