permanent maxillary canines
– a literature review",
abstract="Orthodontic movement of a maxillary canine into the dental  arch may be a therapeutic challenge, and it is necessary to  analyse a case in detail and to evaluate therapeutic methods,  including a difficult decision of tooth extraction in all cases.  Aim. The paper aims to discuss orthodontic indications for  maxillary canine extraction based on available literature.  Material and methods. The PubMed database and the  following key words were used for studies: canine impaction,  maxillary impacted canine and canine extraction. Literature  was supplemented with publications from reviewed journals  not included in the PubMed database. 50 papers were selected  from the literature list. Results, review and discussion.  A decision to extract a maxillary canine should be made  based on a detailed clinical examination and analysis of  orthodontic records, including photographs, diagnostic  models and radiological scans. CBCT imaging test should be  performed as standard before treatment in case of impaired  tooth eruption. Factors that should be especially considered  include: tooth anatomy, periodontal status, position in the bone, occlusion, condition of the adjacent teeth and any  pathological processes in the tooth vicinity. Before making  a therapeutic decision a patient should be informed about  available therapeutic options according to current medical  knowledge, as well as about advantages and disadvantages  of each of them. Summary. Factors favouring extraction of  impacted canines or canines with impaired eruption include:  unfavourable position (a horizontal position of a tooth in  the bone, position in the zone IV and V according to Kurol,  large distance from the edge of the alveolar process),  anatomical abnormality (root angulation, external or internal  resorption), root ankylosis, patient’s age above 30 years and  good occlusion without a canine in the dental arch with the  need to extract a premolar for its movement into the dental  arch.
