• Resumen

  • A case is presented with a displaced maxillary canine, where one year subsequent to the radiographic diagnosis, a bend in the apical one third of the adjacent premolar root had developed. This finding lends further support to a recent hypothesis, that in such circumstances, the canine impaction results in the deviation of the developing premolar root, rather than the obverse.
