Case series demonstrates effective surgical management of impacted canines in pediatric patients, suggesting improved outcomes.
Impacted canines are very frequent, and their management is fundamental in aesthetics and functional occlusion. The planning and choice of an adequate surgical-orthodontic treatment for the discovery of impacted teeth is essential. Four clinical cases are presented that show the clinical and imaging considerations for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, with the description of surgical approaches with open, closed techniques and a combination of both, for impacted maxillary and mandibular teeth in pediatric patients. The follow-up has allowed correct management in the orthodontic traction of the impacted teeth with good periodontal health.
