Abstract: Impacted maxillary permanent canine is the tooth that most commonly fails to erupt after the third molars. It can probably affect the dental arch alignment and form, occlusal function and facial profile as well. In this review, the epidemiology, etiology and influence on surrounding tissue of the impacted maxillary permanent canine were analyzed based on related literatures with the hope of providing references for clinical practice.
