Anca Porumb et al. Iran J Public Health. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

This case of a female patient, 14 yr old with association of the two anomalies, which we came across with in 2014, is rarely met in the specialty practice. The impacted canines are part of the group of dental anomalies of position, while the agenesis is part of the group of dental number anomalies. The orthodontic treatment in the two arches has to be differentiated, the therapeutic objectives being, also different in the two arches.

Keywords: Agenesis; Impacted canines; Orthodontic appliances.
