Abstract

Introduction: The permanent canines and wisdom teeth are most affected by impaction. Regarding the impacted canines, orthodontic traction and self-transplants are potential treatment options but many factors have to be considered when performing these interventions: patient age, root formation stage and tooth development, angulation, absence of root dilacerations, extensively of the osteotomy, etc. In cases where these two treatment options are unpredictable or contraindicated, a surgical extraction of the impacted tooth is a method of choice.
Aim: The aim is to present a piezosurgery-assisted extraction of impacted canine evaluating advantages and disadvantages when compared to osteotomy with conventional rotatory instruments.
Material and methods: A 14 years-old female was referred to our clinic with complaint for absence of the right maxillary canine. CBCT scan revealed impacted maxillary right canine, Class III by Archer. Due to the unfavorable position and curved root, orthodontic traction treatment was considered as contraindicated, so we proceeded with a tooth removal using piezo surgical device.
Results: Piezosurgery showed less damaging of adjacent tissue and less heating during the procedure, shortened postoperative period and patient discomfort, as well as lower inflammatory response.
Conclusion: Taking into account the advantages over disadvantages of using the piezo approach for extraction of impacted canines, we can recommend this method with full confidence and predictable outcomes.
