[Orthodontic-surgical treatment of impacted canines. Clinical and therapeutic aspects of disimpaction]. / Il trattamento ortodontico-chirurgico dei canini inclusi. Considerazioni cliniche e terapeutiche della disinclusione.

ABSTRACT

An attempt was made to classify the various positions assumed by included canines in order to identify the most appropriate treatment. The surgical phase is indubitably decisive for correct repositioning. The possible corrective techniques are described together with several useful ideas for use in the exposure phase in order to facilitate the procedure and minimal subsequent orthodontic work, while ensuring maximum stability of both tooth and periodontal tissue at the end of the repositioning.
