Mini-implant and Modified Nance Button Assisted Alignment of a Horizontally Impacted Maxillary Canine - A Case Report

INTRODUCTION: Iatrogenic perforations are one of the most exasperating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with iatrogenic perforation depends on the location and the procedures undertaken to manage the problem. This case report gives an account of a lateral perforation on a canine tooth and the management strategy under the circumstances. It also gives an overview of some of possible approaches to prevent iatrogenic perforations. METHODS: A right maxillary canine which had an iatrogenic perforation was carefully re-treated and the defect in the bone was exposed using a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap and packed with bone graft material A clinical re-evaluation was done at the end of 3 months. RESULTS: After 3 months the tooth was asymptomatic. There was no tenderness on palpation and on percussion. CONCLUSION: A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the tooth, combined with the use of appropriate techniques can help in reducing the complications that may occur during endodontic therapy. However, if a problem does occur, a scrupulous management would help in salvaging the involved tooth.

ABSTRACT Maxillary canine and first premolar transposition is a complicated dental anomaly to treat, especially if the clinician's goal is to orthodontically move the canine into its normal position. Early diagnosis with cone-beam computed tomography simplifies the treatment of this pathology. This case report describes a patient with bilateral transposition, one complete and the other incomplete, involving the maxillary canine and the first premolar (Mx.C.1P). The orthodontic treatment involved the correction of both transpositions. In the complete transposition, the traction was mesial and upward to move the canine into a more apical position with a wider dentoalveolar process for easier crown interchange.
