Abstract
Root resorption of maxillary incisors as a result of impacted maxillary canines is a sequelae of canine ectopia that has been reported in the literature in terms of case reports and retrospective case series. However, to our knowledge there has been no work done that consolidates the available information on the subject, particularly since the advent of improved imaging techniques with higher rates of detection of maxillary incisor root resorption. This paper aims to review the prevalence rates of maxillary incisor root resorption induced by impacted maxillary canines, as well as to discuss the diagnosis and prognosis of teeth affected by this phenomenon. Clinical Relevance: Maxillary incisor root resorption induced by ectopic maxillary canines is an issue which may be encountered by all dental specialties; however, the awareness of each stage of management is frequently unknown by clinicians. This paper aims to increase awareness and provide a reference point for appropriate management.
