Impacted mandibular canines

Int J Orthod Milwaukee. 2011 Fall;22(3):25-30.

Abstract

A review of the literature on the inferior retained canines is carried out, their frequency, diagnosis and treatment options. Two clinical cases are shown, the first with an inferior lateral incisive transposition that blocked the eruption of the canines; the second case presented bilateral retention of the inferior canines.
