he palatally impacted maxillary canine is adifficult orthodontic problem, often requiringsurgical and orthodontic cooperation. Two
thods of surgical exposure are commonly used: openposure, where traction is placed after the caninepts freely into the palate, and closed exposure withcement of an auxiliary attachment, followed byction of the canine with orthodontic forces.1The effects of placing traction on an impacted
nine after exposure were studied by Woloshyn et al2d others.3,4 Visual differences, and posttreatmentferences in pulpal status, attachment level, crestalne height, and probing pocket depth, were reportedtween previously impacted canines and control ca-
nines not previously impacted.2 In addition, posttreat-ment differences in root length, attachment level, andcrestal bone height were found on lateral incisors andpremolars adjacent to the impacted canines when com-pared with contralateral control lateral incisors andpremolars.2
The studies involving open exposure with autono-mous eruption focused mainly on the success of thesurgical procedures. Pearson et al5 compared simpleexposure and eruption with closed exposure, bracket-ing, and early traction in 104 consecutively treatedpatients with palatally impacted canines; they foundthat a second surgical intervention was needed in15.3% of the open exposure patients and 30.7% of allpatients exposed and bracketed. Ferguson and Parvizi6studied the open exposure of 85 palatally impactedcanines in 72 consecutive patients. They found that84.6% of the exposures were successful, 10.4% werepartially successful, and 5.1% of the canines required asecond exposure.
Open exposure of a palatally impacted canine withnatural eruption has several potential advantages, in-

Schmidt and Kokich 451vious palatally impacted canine. Each previouslypacted canine was exposed and allowed to erupt intopalate before traction and orthodontic alignment. Of22 patients agreeing to participate in clinical fol--up examinations, 6 had bilaterally impacted ca-es, and 16 had unilaterally impacted canines. Their
erage age was 23 years 6.8 months, with an averagesttreatment period of 2 years 11.5 months (Table I).e patient had been out of treatment for several yearst had just finished a brief retreat and was thus labeled1 day posttreatment.Oral hygiene and gingival inflammation were eval-
ted by using the visible plaque index (VPI)8 andgival bleeding index (GBI).9 The sulcular depth ofmaxillary lateral incisors, canines, and adjacent
molars (study teeth) were measured to the nearestmm with a standardized force probe (0.25 N,
rida Probe, Gainesville, Fla) at the mesiobuccal,dbuccal, distobuccal, distolingual, midlingual, andsiolingual aspects. The distance from the cementoe-
mel junction (CEJ) to the gingival margin wasasured to the nearest 0.5 mm with a Michigan 0be with Williams markings. A negative recordingicated that the gingival margin was located apical toCEJ. Two measurements were taken for each site,eral minutes apart, and the 2 values were averaged.
obing attachment level was calculated by subtractingCEJ-gingival margin distance from the sulcular
pth.Current periapical radiographs of the study teeth
re used for all measurements of crestal bone heightd root length. The radiographs and a transparentllimeter ruler for calibration were digitally scanned800 DPI. The digital image was then imported,
librated, and analyzed with ImageJ (public domaina image-processing program available on the Inter-
t at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/). The positions of theJ, the levels of the alveolar crest, and the root apicesthe study teeth were evaluated by the second author.G.K.) without knowledge of the impacted side.ne level was measured as the vertical distance from

Intraoral frontal photographs of 15 of the 16 pa-nts with unilaterally impacted canines were taken at
follow-up examinations, coded for identification,d randomly placed to a PowerPoint presentation.enty-three orthodontists and 9 second- and third-
ar orthodontic residents were asked to identify thepacted canine in each patient. The raters were alsoed to give a short rationale for each choice made.
ta analysis
This study was designed as a split-mouth study. Sixthe 22 patients, however, had bilaterally impacted
nines. After data analysis and consultation with atistician, it was determined that statistically strongerults could be obtained by not combining the bilater-y impacted canines with the unilateral canines, be-use this allowed the statistically stronger t test forired data to be used on the data from the unilaterallypacted canines.For all data, differences were calculated betweenpreviously impacted canines and adjacent teeth, andcontralateral control teeth. Probing pocket depth,
achment levels, crestal bone height, and root lengthsre compared by using a paired t test for the unilateraltients. The data from the bilaterally impacted caninesre averaged for each patient so that each patient withaterally treated canines had only 1 data set. Theseta were compared with the data from the control teethm the patients with unilaterally impacted canines by
ing the t test for independent samples.Differences in the VPI and GBI scores were testedusing the sign test. Rater agreement in the photo-phic evaluation was assessed with the kappa statis-
, and the results were analyzed with the binomialtribution test.10
SULTS

454 Schmidt and Kokichisor. Similarly, in agreement with other studies,3th studies reflect attachment loss distal to the affectederal incisor in the crestal bone height measurements;th studies showed approximately 0.8 mm of meanne height loss when compared with the contralaterale. Our study also showed a small amount of crestalne loss on the mesial aspect of the affected lateralisor, a unique finding compared with Woloshyn et and other studies.3,11This study agrees with findings by Woloshyn et al2
d others,12 showing root resorption of the lateralisor on the impacted side. Woloshyn et al found aan root loss of 1.33 mm, and we found a mean roots of 1.87 mm. Woloshyn et al also showed that rootorption was associated with the impacted-side pre-lars, but our study shows mean root loss on theviously impacted canine but not the adjacent pre-lars. Perhaps more force is transmitted to the pre-lar mechanically through traction than when the
nine is allowed to freely erupt, resulting in more rootorption in the premolar area with early caninection. The increased root resorption in the canineowed to freely erupt could be a result of the longtance the root must travel when the tooth erupts into palate.13 It is also possible that the affected caninesk the developmental root length of normally erupting
nines, and that the differences are a result of devel-mental differences rather than resorptive differences.We found that orthodontists and second- and third-
ar orthodontic residents could correctly identify theviously impacted canine an average of 78.8% of thee, a similar rate to that found by the 2 senior authorsthe study of Woloshyn et al (74.2%).2 When ana-ed by individual patient, however, orthodontists andidents could definitively identify the correct canineonly 67% of the patients to a 0.05 level of signifi-
nce. The kappa statistic, a value estimating theportion of agreement between raters after account-
for chance, was 0.58. The kappa statistic ap-aches 1 when there is perfect intrarater reliability
d moves toward 0 when there is no agreement othern what would be expected by chance alone. A kappa0.58 indicates moderate intrarater agreement in
nine identification.The 3 most common reasons given for identifying

of reasons given 28% 27% 17%previously impacted canines were torque, gingiva,d alignment. Differences in torque, noted in 28% ofreasons, reflect the difficulty in moving the root oftreated canine buccally enough with orthodontic
pliances to mimic the contralateral canine eminence.ngiva, comprising 27% of the reasons, indicates arceived difference in amount of attached gingivaen compared with the contralateral tooth, or aference in the relative heights of the gingival mar-s. Alignment, a reason given 17% of the time,ects either a tendency toward relapse of the treated
nine or a lack of complete alignment of the impactednine after orthodontic treatment.
NCLUSIONS
Treating palatally impacted maxillary canines withen surgical exposure, natural eruption of the canine,d orthodontic alignment has minimal effects on theriodontium. In this study, the roots of the impactednine and the adjacent lateral incisor were slightlyorter than those of the contralateral control teeth, and
significant pulpal changes were identified. Visualferences were present in the previously impactedth when compared with the contralateral control
nine. The overall consequences to the impactednine with this technique seem better than with closedposure and early traction of impacted canines. Con-uences to the adjacent teeth, particularly the lateralisor, seem quite similar with both techniques. Futureearch directly comparing the 2 methods with a largerple and randomization could yield further insight.
