ABSTRACT

This study aims to present, through the report of a clinical case, the clinical characteristics and the treatment approach in an unusual pathology of an impacted lower canine. Male patient, 40 years old, feoderma, native of Juazeiro do Norte - CE, attended the dental clinic Symmetry. The same patient complained of not erupting the permanent tooth in the anterior region of the mandible, after the clinical and radiographic examination the presence of the tooth was detected.The canine exudation was performed, including bone wear, where it was accessed through a linear incision in the groove bottom. It has been observed in the literature that ectopic canines that do not have the physiological or mechanical conditions to erupt must be removed from the jaws by the high pathogenic potential of cysts and tumors development. There was a high complexity in the treatment of impacted canines, since the characteristics of the dental elements are of paramount importance for the type of treatment.

Key words: Canine tooth, Oral surgery, Nitrous oxide.
