Assessment of different techniques for repositioning of the impacted maxillary canine

ABSTRACT

Fifty nine cases of impacted maxillary canines were transplanted. They were divided into two groups according to the method of fixation. Group I, 36 cases of impacted maxillary canine were fixed by extrabony fixation [arch bar and eyelet wire]. Group II, 23 cases of impacted maxillary canine were fixed by intrabonv fixation [transosseous wiring], were transplanted teeth were fixed to, either the buccal or palatal cortical plate of bone. Unlike the other methods, this one is simple, rapid and uses inexpensive material that are readily available in any dental office
