Maxillary Ectopic Canines
A Maxillary Ectopic Canine is a canine which is developing in an irregular position in the maxilla. A tooth is considered as ectopic when it is developing in an irregular position. Earlier, it was assumed that 85% of ectopic canines are displaced palatally, however a recent study suggests the actual occurrence is nearer to 50%. While maxillary canines can also be displaced buccally, it is thought this arises as a result of a lack of space. Most of these cases resolve themselves with the permanent canine erupting without intervention.
