Abstract

Impacted maxillary canines are commonly encountered in orthodontics. The permanent maxillary canine is the second most frequent impacted tooth after the third molar. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is as an effective method to localize and evaluate the exact position of the maxillary impacted canines. In this case report, Initial conventional radiographs were taken. CBCT was performed to localize the actual position of the impacted
