Clin Case Rep. 2024 Jul 31;12(8):e9230. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.9230. eCollection 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Maxillary canines are often impacted, which can result in tooth disorders and adversely affect occlusal and facial development. The case report describes complete bilateral impaction of maxillary canines and significant root resorption of a central incisor. The multidisciplinary approach is the optimal strategy for addressing impacted maxillary canines.
