ON-DEMAND 30-MINUTE WEBINARS
Impacted Teeth: Different Treatment Options Including Tooth Transplantation
Ewa Czochrowska
Medical University of Warsaw Poland
To know different treatment options for impacted teeth and their predictability
To know the recommendations for the trans-alveolar transplanation (surgical uprighting) of ectopic teeth
To know the signs of successful tooth transplanation
Treatment options for impacted teeth are related to the stage of root development, inclination of the impacted tooth, space conditions, status of adjacent teeth and patient’s attitudes to treatment. They include interceptive treatment (maxillary canines), orthodontic extrusion, surgical uprighting (trans-alveolar transplantation), autotransplanation of developing premolars and third molars to replace ankylosed and impacted teeth and tooth extraction. Successful outcome is determined by a well-planned and carefully executed orthodontic and surgical treatment.
Early diagnosis is pivotal to facilitate interceptive treatment for canine eruption and a successful surgical uprighting of impacted teeth. Different factors, which are important for the detection of tooth impaction, especially canine impaction, would be discussed during the lecture using scientific evidence. Clinical examples of successful and unsuccessful treatment for tooth impaction will illustrate different therapeutic scenarios. The important benefit of trans-alveolar transplantation of developing teeth is the potential for bone preservation and regeneration, that will be shown during the lecture.
Impacted Canines: Ignored Clues Subvert Clinical Diagnosis & Strategic Treatment Planning
Professor Stella Chaushu
Hebrew University Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel
Delayed diagnosis and management of the impacted canines can cause severe complications such as displacement and root resorption of adjacent teeth. These complications may result in long, costly, and sometimes painful treatment, which also involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth. In contrast, early diagnosis and timely preventive measures may reduce the risk of complications, the severity of displacement and even remedy the impaction.
A first step in early diagnosis is clinical recognition of the presence of pathognomonic features associated with buccal versus palatal impacted canines. The next step is the assessment by plane radiographies, such as panoramic and/or intraoral x-rays. Nevertheless, it is recognized that even highly qualified professionals, including orthodontists and oral surgeons are known to make mistakes with these methods.
In this context, the relative position of the adjacent teeth to an impacted canine may be used as an important, albeit ignored clue for early diagnosis, both clinical and radiographical. Subsequently, when impaction has been confirmed, understanding its influence on the position of the adjacent teeth is crucial for planning the most efficient mechanotherapy with minimal side effects.
The presentation will overview the pathognomonic distinct effect of palatally versus buccally impacted canines on adjacent teeth and discuss the importance of their early recognition in diagnosis and treatment planning.
ORTHODONTIC MANAGEMENT OF PALATALLY ECTOPIC AND IMPACTED CANINES

Julia Naoumova is associate professor at the Department of Orthodontics,
Institute of Odontology at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg and senior consultant orthodontist at the Specialist
clinic of Orthodontics in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Dr Naoumova undertook her Bachelor
in Dental Surgery in 2005 and her Master in Dental Surgery in 2007 from the
University of Malmö, Sweden. She obtained her specialization in Orthodontics in
2010 in Gothenburg and took her PhD in 2014 from the University of Gothenburg.
Dr Naoumova was awarded in 2016 with the Beni Solow price for the best article
in EJO and in 2019 with the best poster prize at the European Orthodontic
Congress. Since 2021 she is Associate professor in Orthodontics. Dr Naoumova is supervising postgraduate
students, master students and Phd students in different prospective randomized
clinical projects. Dr Naoumova has been honored as invited speaker at national
and international congresses. Her main research interests are interceptive
treatments, eruption disorders and orthodontic treatments of impacted teeth.
You are able to describe treatment modalities of palatally impacted canines (PIC).
You are able to describe surgical techniques of PIC.
You are able to describe the advantages and limitations with glass-ionomer open exposure (GOPEX).
This lecture will provide an overview of evidence based knowledge of different orthodontic treatments to prevent and to correct palatally ectopic and impacted canines.
Early diagnosis and treatment of palatally ectopic canines are crucial since they may cause resorption of neighboring teeth. Therefore, treatment of ectopic and impacted canines is one of the most prioritized treatments in orthodontics. Two common surgical methods to exposure impacted canines is open or closed technique. A modified open exposure called GOPEX (glass ionomer open exposure) has been used in Gothenburg, Sweden for almost 50 years. In this method, glass-ionomer cement coverage is used as a dressing agent which penetrates the gingival surface and thus lets the biological dental emergence system believe that the tooth has emerged and hence the canine continues to erupt in the palate. With this technique the canine is allowed to spontaneously erupt for about 6 months before orthodontic traction is applied. In this presentation, data with clinical cases from an ongoing RCT study comparing GOPEX to closed exposure with respect to postoperative pain and pain during the orthodontic treatment will be shown.
Aims: overview of evidence based knowledge of different orthodontic treatments to prevent and to correct palatally ectopic and impacted canines.
Objectives: this lecture will provide an enhanced understanding of interceptive and comprehensive treatment of ectopic and impacted canines.
Learning outcomes: following this lecture, delegates should have acquired knowledge regarding which interceptive and comprehensive treatments are beneficial in treating palatally ectopic and impacted canines. The attendees will also be able to describe the advantages and limitations with GOPEX in order to apply this knowledge when treatment planning ectopic and impacted canines.
