Abstract

The maxillary permanent canine is a common tooth to deviate from its normal path of eruption and become displaced, usually into the roof of the mouth or palate. This article outlines the assessment, diagnosis and potential early management options for a palatally displaced permanent canine tooth (PDC). Some adverse consequences of a PDC are discussed.
