Q

Clinical signs of impacted canine

A

Delayed eruption of canine (failure by 14 to erupt)
Prolonged retention of primary canine
Elevation of soft tissue either labially or Palatally
Distal migration of lateral incisors

20
Q

Determine _____ before initiating treatment

A

Location

21
Q

What diagnostic information is needed

A

X-rays
Photos
Palapation

22
Q

SLOB/Clark’s Rule

A

Same lingual opposite buccal

23
Q

If impacted tooth moves in the same direction as the second PA the tooth is _____

A

Lingual or palatal

24
Q

Impactions in the palate will generally appear larger and more blurry than the Contralateral canine

A

Panorex

25
Q

Buccal (facial) impactions appear vertical and coronal to the apices of the anterior teeth
Palatal impactions appear horizontal and apical to the anterior teeth

A

Lateral ceph

26
Q

Facial permanent canine eruption

A

Arch length deficiency (crowding)
Detected earlier than palatal
Easier to manage
May be transposed

27
Q

Palatal permanent canine eruption

A

No arch length deficiency
Watch for 6 month difference from Contralateral canine
Treat early

28
Q

Tx choices of impacted canine

A

Exposure and natural eruption
Exposure and ortho
Extraction and premolar substation
Reimplantation

29
Q

When facial canine, usually need just simple ________ and ___________ mechanics, __________ preservation is chief concern

A

Uprighting
Extrusive
Anchorage

30
Q

Soft tissue considerations - facial

A

Flap design

31
Q

Flap design facial

A

Preserve attached gingiva
Closed eruption of apically repositioned flaps
Adequate exposure for bonding

32
Q

Palatal — ________ arch and make space (TPA, heavy arch wires), expose

A

Stabilize

33
Q

Soft tissue considerations (palatal)

A

Full thickness flap
Good hemostasis
Bone removal if necessary

34
Q

Full thickness flap

A

Open or closed eruption

35
Q

Attachment to cuspids

A

Important utilize proper bonding techniques
Ensure bond is to crown not root
Usually placed by periodontist/OS

36
Q

Clinical hints

A

Identify impactions early - X-rays, clinical exam
Extract primary canine - facilitate eruption

37
Q

Palatal impactions usually require __________ surgery

A

Exposure

38
Q

What do you want to determine the prognosis of before extracting primary teeth

A

Prognosis of impaction

39
Q

You want to establish good ______ and space for the impacted tooth before bringing into the arch

A

Anchorage

40
Q

You want to apply ______ to the tooth immediately following exposure (no later than 2-4 weeks)

A

Traction

41

A

Normalize, 91%, distal

42
Q

The success rate is only ___% if the canine crown is _____ to the midling of the lateral incisor

A

64%
Mesial
