Abstract
Introduction: The maxillary canine is a key tooth for aesthetics and occlusal function. These present after the third molars, the highest occurrence of dental impaction, mainly in the palatal region.Objective:The present manuscript aims to report a clinical case of extraction of an impacted upper left canine due to the impossibility of orthodontic traction.Case Report: Female patient, 15 years old, non-smoker, without systemic changes or history of allergies and undergoing orthodontic treatment, was referred from a private office to the dental clinic of a college in northern Brazil with the main complaint of the canine impacted upper left in the palatal region and after, the clinical diagnosis tomography the joint planning was the extraction of tooth 23. Soon the region was anesthetized and after analgesia confirmed an intrasulcular incision was made and then the mucoperiosteal flap was performed for the posterior flap divulsion and finally dislocation of the impacted and impacted tooth was performed with the appropriate levers, after extraction the flap was moved and simple sutures were made and as postoperative pain control was performed with peripheral action analgesic. Conclusion: As shown in this case report, the diagnosis of impacted canine is necessary with clinical and radiographic examination, and extraction is a viable treatment option.
