The need to localise unerupted teeth is a common clinical problem. lnspection, palpation and radiographic views are discussed. This paper concentrates on the radiographic localisation of the unerupted maxillary canine. Emphasis is given to the reduction of exposure of the patient to ionising radiation by (i) using a minimal number of radiographs and (ii) offering alternatives to the vertex occlusal radiograph.
