Abstract
Background: The aim of our study is to evaluate, through a systematic review, the bone capital of the maxillary impacted canines vestibular or palatine trailed compared to their contralateral counterpart.
 Method: five databases were consulted: PubMed; PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Ebscohost. The research included published studies from 2010 to 2018, meta-analysis studies, randomized and non-randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective studies, case series, control cases.
 Results: Among the 299 selected references, only 4 studies met our inclusion criteria. There is no statistically significant difference in alveolar bone loss between the two closed and open techniques for palatal canine traction. Bone loss ranged from 0.03 mm to 0.39 mm compared to the contralateral normal canine. For vestibular traction, bone resorption compared to the normally located canine varies from 0.82 to 0.89 mm.
 Conclusion: Canine traction is accompanied by a statistically significant bone loss compared to the contralateral canine. This bone defect is more aggravated when the inclusion is vestibular but remains clinically acceptable.
Highlights
The maxillary canines are the most commonly impacted teeth, just behind the third molars [1]
Two surgical techniques are used for palatal traction: open and closed technique [4]
One of the fundamental indicators of the traction success of an impacted tooth is its periodontal status in general, Integr J Med Sci.2021;7:1-5 and its bone capital in particular after post-treatment alignment with its contralateral counterpart
Summary
The maxillary canines are the most commonly impacted teeth, just behind the third molars [1]. No review has been carried out to evaluate the bone capital after canine traction of both vestibular and palatal inclusions to our knowledge.The aim of our study is to evaluate through a systematic review of the bone capital of the vestibular or palatal included canine maxillary inclusions pulled compared to their contralateral counterpart.
