Impacted Canine Exposure & Treatment | Tom Nasiopoulos

This is a video demonstrating the treatment of Maxillary Canine Impaction. People who experience this condition may find it quite informative. Please be aware the detailed scenes of oral surgery are included. Many people may find such scenes disturbing. If you cannot watch scenes including surgery, I strongly advise that you avoid watching it. On the other hand, I believe that it is useful to know EXACTLY how this difficult dental and orthodontic problem is treated. The surgical part of this whole treatment may be somewhat of a terrifying mystery to them; it should not be so. This surgical procedure, called "Canine Exposure" is routinely carried out in the practices of dental specialists such as Maxillofacial Surgeons, Oral Surgeons, Specialist Periodontologists and Dentists experienced in oral surgery. It is invariably performed under local (not general) anesthesia. The patient is conscious during this procedure and experiences no pain. The duration of this surgical procedure is usually less than an hour. In the case of this video, the procedure lasted 40 minutes. As soon as the procedure was completed, the young patient walked out of the practice and went home. After merely 2-3 days, the patient was able to fully resume her everyday schedule. In my practice, I encounter patients with impacted canines very often. I always assure them that, although it appears to be a very hard problem to correct, if planned and managed properly, the results are favourable, rewarding and you get them without much discomfort. The duration of the orthodontic treatment is usually between 2 to 2,5 years. However, it may take considerably longer if the patient is an adult. Orthodontically treating adult patients with impacted canines is harder: The treatment lasts longer, adjacent to the canine teeth may present root resorption, the periodontium is stressed and the risk of ankylosis is higher. This is why I always recommend to correct the problem of canine impaction during adolescence and not postpone it for later, during adulthood. Thank you for watching.
