Permanent canine are very important teeth in point of function as well as esthetic. Therefore impaction of canines is a frequently encountered clinical problems. The incidence of impaction ranges between 1-3%. The cause of canine impaction can be result of ectopic position of tooth germ, defect of dental follicle, early loss or delayed exfoliation primary canine, space problem, supernumarary teeth, cyst, odontoma. Impaction frequently involves further complication such as root resorption of adjacent teeth, cyst formation and migration of the neighboring teeth. Various treatment modalities include extraction of primary canine, surgical opening and orthodontic traction, autotransplantation, surgical extraction of impacted canine.
