The phenomenon of impacted canines is observed in about 0.8–4.9% of patients treated orthodontically. In 85% of cases it is observed unilaterally. Besides the third molars, canines are the largest group of impacted teeth. The impacted tooth diagnosis includes clinical and radiological examination. In this particular case, the screening test is a pantomographic X-ray. The full picture of the location of an impacted tooth and adjacent structures can be obtained only through the use of computed tomography. Only a full diagnosis allows a decision to be made as to the treatment of impacted canines and permits an evaluation of the possibility of treatment success. In the case of impacted teeth, the procedures may be varied. Mostly, the tooth is either left in the bone or tracked orthodontically. Rarely is it extracted. In some cases, the surgical procedure includes the autotransplantation of the impacted tooth
