Three-dimensional reconstructions of CT scans and cone beam CT of impacted maxillary canines in order to locate areas of ankylosis before orthodontic traction

AMIRA™ software made it possible to detect zones of ankylosis on the roots of certain impacted canines and to adopt a treatment program different from conventional surgico-orthodontic traction. The final aim is to reposition the impacted canine without endangering the adjacent teeth.
