Abstract

The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the “cornerstone” of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well-balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance. When an aberration is noted with the normal eruptive and development process, early diagnosis with strategic intervention is critical and may often require a multidisciplinary approach. A proper diagnosis, risk assessment, and management of the soft tissues, hard tissues, and adjacent structures are vital for a successful outcome. This review highlights the diagnostic and treatment modalities that require consideration for the orthodontic as well as the periodontal management of impacted canines. The reader is guided through the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and intervention of clinical cases that were managed with different approaches. © 2024 The Author(s).
