Interdisciplinary management of an adolescent patient with a severely impacted mandibular canine

Abstract

Impacted mandibular canines often result in a variety of clinical dilemmas. Orthodontic disimpaction of severely displaced mandibular canines may be extremely challenging and associated with significant patient discomfort and a high risk of iatrogenic damage. This case report demonstrates the interdisciplinary management of a horizontally impacted permanent mandibular canine, utilising a combination of three-dimensional radiology, biomodel fabrication and subsequent endodontic treatment. © 2024 Australian Dental Association.
