Prevalencia de caninos impactados y su complejidad en el tratamiento de ortodoncia

Canine tooth impaction is a relatively common clinical practice problem, considered the second tooth with the highest impaction index after the third molar. A bibliographic review was carried out, taking as a reference 37 scientific articles indexed in databases to determine the prevalence of canine impaction, its frequent causes, and select the type of therapeutic treatment. This review found that the impacted maxillary canine is more frequent in females (63.1%) than males (36.9%). It is frequently located towards the palatine (85%) than labially (15%); unilateral impaction is more common than bilateral, where the unilateral impacted maxillary canines were located almost equally on the right side (49%) as the left (51%). As a cause of canine impaction, the ectopic position of the dental germ could be taken as the most important. Additional causes are dental arch length discrepancies caused by lack of space, absence of an eruptive guide, and the long road that canine germs must travel to their final eruptive site. According to the complexity of the treatment, an early diagnosis of canine impaction allows an interceptive intervention, that is, the extraction of the canine and deciduous first molar. Conversely, late diagnosis is more challenging to treat. The most commonly used method of occlusion of impacted canines is to surgically expose the teeth, place an attached accessory, and use orthodontic forces to move the tooth.
