Berdasarkan anamnesis, pemeriksaan klinis dan radiologis tampak gigi 23 posisinya horisontal, perlu dilakukan odontectomy dengan metode in toto. Gigi 63 dipertahankan karena tidak ada luksasi.

ABSTRACT: Management of Horizontally Impacted Maxillary Left Canines in Children. Impacted canines have a high prevalence after impacted third molar. Impacted maxillary canines occur twice more often in female children than male ones. The location of the tooth inclination towards the midline of the face which is more than 450 has a poor prognosis for eruption. The purpose of this case report is to provide information of surgical management of impacted maxillary left canines in children with local anesthetic. This case was reported in 12.5 year old girl who came to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of the Dental Hospital of Prof Soedomo with the chief complaint of left-sided headache as well as unerupted tooth 23. Based on the history, clinical and radiologic examination, it appeared that tooth 23 was in horizontal position, and it needed to be treated with odontectomy with in toto method. In the checkup on the 7th day, an ulcer on injury appeared. Tooth 63 was maintained because there was no shakiness (only one third root resorbtion). Orthodontic traction in this patient was not performed because the location of tooth 23 was deep and the position was horizontal. The conclusion of this case report is that horizontally impacted 23 can possibly cause headache. Tooth 23 odontectomy was done successfully through envelope flap creation and ended with interrupted suture. On the checkup on the 7th day and after the 1st month, the patient did not complain of headache anymore.
