RESTORING THE PHYSIOGNOMIC FUNCTION OF A PATIENT WITH AN IMPACTED CANINE TOOTH
Abstract:
This paper presents the clinical case of an adult patient with an impacted right maxillary
canine and a primary canine still present on the dental arch. One of the most important functions of the
dental-maxillary system is the physiognomic one; a function which is impaired due to these anomalies.
This case must be addressed interdisciplinary, being done both surgically through the removal of the
primary tooth, of the overlying odontoma and the impacted canine, and with the help of prosthetics
through metal-ceramic coronal prosthetic restorations.
