Résumé
A two years prospective study about 189 impacted canines from 253 subjects was carried out in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at Dental School of Complutense University of Madrid. It was carried out a clinical history and exploration and a radiographic study to the patients and a sheet was filled with epidemiological and clinical data. Patients age average is 32. Comparisions of the sexes indicate that canine impactions are found to occur twice as often in females as in males (2:1). Unilateral canine impactions are more common: 69,3% of cases, while 28,5% are estimated to be bilateral and in 2,1% of cases there are more than two impactions. 90,5% of impacted canines are in upper dental arch. Incidence of palatal as opposed to buccal location is 82,6% and 13,4% and 3,9% of cases are located in a mixed way. Results about infectious complications (5,8%), adjacent incisors resortion (8,4%) and mobility (2,1%), follicular cystes (5,5%), pain, other impacted teeth, etc. are very important and they will be developed.
