Abstract
The maxillary canine plays a vital role in the functional aspect of the occlusion. It has a long root and good bony support and is often referred to as the cornerstone of the maxillary arch. Missing or impacted canine will affect the function and aesthetic appearance of the smile. An impacted tooth can be defined as the failure of a tooth to erupt within the specified time. An impacted canine is a canine that is prevented from erupting into its normal functional position by bone, tooth or fibrous tissue. Palatally ectopic canine (PEC) is defined as the developmental dislocation of the upper canine to a palatal site often resulting in tooth impaction requiring surgical and orthodontic treatments.
