Abstract
Impaction of a maxillary canine is a common tooth transposition, being the second most frequently impacted tooth after third molars. Management of such cases typically require a multidisciplinary approach, combining surgery with orthodontics. Presented is a case involving a 12-year 7-month-old male patient with an impacted right maxillary canine, premature loss of the second deciduous right maxillary molar and hypoplasia of the maxilla. Treatment included extraction of the premolars with surgical exposure and subsequent guided eruption of the impacted canine into the tooth arch.
