• Resumen

  • Palatally impacted maxillary cuspids are a common eruption disorder whose management in our clinics is based on the previous experience of the involved professional. As a result, the outcome of the treatment is not uniform. We present seven cases of palatally impacted maxillary cuspids managed with different approaches by several dentists with a different professional background (general dentist, oral surgeon, expert in dental esthetics, prosthodontist and orthodontist).

    The discussion of these cases reveals the criteria that justified the corresponding treatment approaches.
