	Two Interceptive Approaches to Palatally Displaced Canines: A Prospective Longitudinal Study
		The removal of the deciduous canine as an isolated measure to intercept palatal displacement of maxillary canines showed a prevalence rate of 50% success, which was not significantly greater than the success rate in untreated controls.
		In cases of unsuccessful outcome, a diagnosis of canine impaction was made at the time of the second observation (T2) on the basis of both dental and skeletal ages of individual patients, developmental stage of the canine, and the full eruption of the contralateral canine in subjects showing unilateral canine displacement.
		The extraction of the deciduous canine alone is not an effective procedure to increase the rate of normal eruption of palatally displaced maxillary canines, whereas the use of cervical pull headgear in addition to the extraction of the deciduous canine is able to induce successful eruption of the permanent canine in 80% of the cases.

		The usual cause of impaction of the maxillary central incisor is the presence of a supernumerary tooth or mesiodens.
		Either the canine moves ectopically over the labial surface of the maxillary lateral incisor root and fails to erupt, or the maxillary dental midline may shift toward the canine, causing it to be impacted labially.
		The cause of the palatal impaction of the canine is unknown.

	A Review of Impacted Permanent Maxillary Cuspids — Diagnosis and Prevention
		Permanent maxillary canines are the second most frequently impacted teeth; the prevalence of their impaction is 1-2% in the general population.
		Maxillary canines develop high in the maxilla, are among the last teeth to develop and travel a long path before they erupt into the dental arch.
		Because canines are palpable from 1 to 1.5 years before they emerge, the absence of the canine bulge after the age of 10 years is a good indication that the tooth is displaced from its normal position, and ectopic eruption or impaction of the maxillary cuspids is possible.

		The maxillary fourth premolar is a tri-rooted tooth with a large distal root and 2 mesial roots (mesiobuccal and mesiopalatal) emanating from a common root trunk.
		Canine teeth affected by severe periodontal disease may be extracted using non-surgical methods, however if the tooth has a healthy periodontium, it is essential to implore surgical exodontic techniques.
		It is important to note that the root of the maxillary canine courses in a dorsal and distal direction with its apex directly above the mesial root of the maxillary second premolar.

		Therefore, maxillary artificial anterior teeth must be arranged anteriorly and inferiorly to the residual alveolar ridge to occupy the position formerly occupied by the natural teeth.
		A square arrangement is indicated for a square-shaped maxillary residual ridge, a tapering arrangement for a tapering ridge form, and an oviod arrangement for an oviod arch.
		Alternatively, the mandibular canines can be arranged first in the proper relationship to the maxillary canines (the cusp tip of the mandibular canine is placed between the maxillary canine and lateral).

	THE PERMANENT CANINE TEETH
		Maxillary canines by definition are the teeth in the maxilla distal, but closest to the incisors.
		Mandibular canines are those lower teeth that articulate with the mesial aspect of the upper canine.

		Base narrowed canines may be due to a structural narrowing of the mandible, or failure of the primary teeth to exfoliate prior to the eruption of the adult canine teeth.
		Spearing or lancing canines are maxillary canine teeth that are tipped in a rostral position by the mandibular canines.
		Similar to the mandibular incisor teeth, fractures of the mandibular molars and premolars may be difficult to detect because of the overlap of the tongue and because they frequently occur on the lingual side of the tooth.

	Introduction - Orthodontic Management - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Impacted maxillary canines are not a rarity in any dental practice, yet the treatment for this condition is usually a challenge.
		The incidence of maxillary canine impaction is approximately 2 percent of the patients who seek orthodontic treatment, and about 1 percent in the general population.
		The canines are the last succedaneous teeth to erupt and are therefore vulnerable for a long time to any unfavorable environmental influences.

	The Visible Portion of Anterior Teeth at Rest - Results
		With increasing age, the amount of maxillary anterior teeth that was visible at rest decreased and the opposite was true for the mandibular anterior teeth.
		Among the anterior teeth, the amount of visible maxillary central incisors was most significantly affected by aging.
		The amount of visible maxillary canines, in particular, was affected greatly by the length of the upper lip (Table 4).

		Impaction of the permanent maxillary canine must be diagnosed and treated appropriately to intercept critical functional and esthetic deficiencies in the maxillary arch.
		Primate spaces are naturally occurring spaces in the “normal” primary dentition, existing distal to the primary mandibular canine and mesial to the primary maxillary canine.
		Orthodontic intervention typically is necessary at this stage since maxillary incisors tend to erupt rotated and in crossbite; in addition, posterior crossbites develop frequently on the ipsilateral side of the cleft as canine and premolar teeth erupt into the mal-shaped arch.

	Orthodontics defined - DVM
		Canines (also called cuspids or fang teeth) are located on the sides of the incisors and used to grasp food.
		Anterior crossbite occurs when the canine and premolar teeth on both sides of the mouth occlude normally, but one or more of the lower incisors are positioned in front of the upper incisors (Photo 12).
		Rostrally deviated canine teeth occur when the maxillary or mandibular canine is directed forward and can usually be corrected by orthodontic movement, crown reduction or extraction.

	SELECTED CANINE MALOCCLUSIONS: Rostral Crossbite, Mesioversion of Maxillary Canines, and Linguo version of Mandibular ...
		Mesioversion or rostral displacement of the maxillary canine, also called "lance canine", is thought to be the result of retained deciduous teeth and Shetland sheepdogs seem to be predisposed to this condition and as such, the breeding of Shelties with lance canine should be greatly discouraged.
		Linguoversion of lingual displacement of the mandibular canine commonly referred to as "base narrow canines" is common in doliocephalic dogs and is thought to be the result of retained deciduous teeth.
		If the correct space (between the lateral incisor and the maxillary canine) is not wide enough to allow proper dental interlock it must be corrected prior to movement of the mandibular canines by another orthodontic appliance.

		The canine impaction may be a manifestation of a microform of Cleft lip and cleft palate.
		Palatally displaced canines should be termed "impacted" and the aetiology for this phenomenon is excessive space in maxilla.
		From a study completed by R.G. Oliver et al 1987 it was evident that maxillary lateral incisors adjacent to an impacted canine are generally smaller than the contralateral incisor.

	Composite resin restoration
		Conical crown-size reduction of the maxillary lateral incisor is usually associated with other dental anomalies like tooth agenesis (4,7), maxillary canine-first premolar transposition (5), palataly displacement of one or both maxillary canine teeth (8) and mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition (9).
		There are two treatment options for malformed lateral incisors: 1) to move the maxillary canines forward and reshape them to simulate the extracted malformed lateral incisors; 2) to stand the canines in a Class I relationship and to restore the missing tooth structure by increasing the size of a peg-shaped lateral incisor (10).
		Peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors could be responsible for smile implications, that varies from case to case, but could also cause alterations on psychological behavior.

		An ideal overlap of maxillary anterior teeth will allow the incisal edges of mandibular anterior teeth to touch maxillary teeth approximately halfway between the CEJ and the incisal edges when the mandible is in maximum intercuspation.
		The average maxillary central crown length is 10.0 mm, meaning an average ideal vertical overlap of 4.5 mm.
		Proper disocclusion could occur with the mandibular canine against the maxillary canine, central, premolar or molar (although the maxillary canine would have much greater bone support than the first premolar or maxillary lateral incisor).
