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
