Diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano de la malposición intralveolar de caninos permanentes

Abstract

Early treatment is a procedure taken into account during the recent years among health professionals, especially dentists. Impacted canines are considered as an eruption anomaly between occlusal alterations. In our country we found it to be very common and yet we do not know the real incidence. Canine development is unique because of the long path it has to travel in its way to erupt and therefore, it is very important to keep a good control on its eruption path. Early diagnosis has to be done in the mixed dentition period with the use of clinical analysis and radiographs.
