Factors related to the duration of forced eruption of impacted maxillary canines / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To identify the factors that affect the duration of forced eruption of the impacted maxillary canines.Methods:Data of 46 successfully treated impacted maxillary canines with forced eruption were included.The relation of duration of forced eruption and the age of the patients(y),the distance between the impacted maxillary canine cusp tip and the occlusal plane(d),the angle be-tween the axis of the impacted maxillary canine and the occlusal plane(α),mesiodistal position of the canine cusp tip in relation to the adjacent teeth(ZB),the angle between the canine axis and the lateral incisor axis(β)was analyzed.Results:The results indicated a direct correlation of the duration of forced eruption with the patient age and d value,the more mesial location of the canine cusp tip to the midline,the longer treatment time was needed.In contrast,there was an inverse correlation between the duration of forced eruption and αvalue.Conclusion:The patient's age and the position of the impacted maxillary canines are the important predictors of the dura-tion of the forced eruption.

Caninos superiores permanentes impactados: revisión de literatura y presentación de caso clínico / Impacted permanent maxillary canines: review of literature and presentation of clinical case

El proceso de desarrollo de los caninos permanentes superiores es entre todos los dientes el más demorado y de trayecto más largo. En el periodo de transición para la dentición permanente podrá ocurrir la no erupción de estos dientes. El diagnóstico precoz de esta anomalía es fundamental para el correcto desarrollo de la dentición y oclusión y para un tratamiento efectivo y rápido. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este trabajo fue revisar algunos aspectos concernientes a la etiología, diagnóstico y conduta clínica en casos de caninos superiores impactados

he canine development process is the most delayed process of all teeth and also the one that takes the longest path until its eruption. During the period of transition from the mixed denture to the permanent one it may occur some problems of dental impactions. Early diagnosis of this anomaly is of major importance to have a proper occlusion development and to have a more efficient and short treatment. Therefore, it was purpose with this study, to review some aspects concerning to the etiology diagnosis and clinical conduct of canines maxillary impactions
