Abstract
Introduction. The orthodontist treating patients with palatally impacted canines usually strives to build a complex treatment plan, based on uncomplicated and biological orthodontic and surgical techniques. The aim of the present report was to demonstrate by case reports the potential of the open surgical technique for stimulation of physiological eruption of palatally impacted canines. Material and methods. Three patients aged 13 to 20 years with various degrees of unilateral and bilateral palatal impaction of maxillary canines were managed by the described technique. Results and discussion. All canines underwent autonomous eruption after all soft- and hard-tissue obstructions on their paths were removed. Conclusion. The described method of surgical uncovering and autonomous eruption created conditions for biological eruption of the palatally impacted canines into the oral cavity and facilitated considerably the subsequent orthodontic treatment for their proper alignment in the dental arch.
