RCT |
PDCs: Intraosseous palatal position of maxillary permanent canine diagnosed from panoramic radiographs or periapical radiographs |
3 groups 1. HG group 2. RPE/HG group 3. CG |
Total 60 subjects 1. HG group: 17 subjects (with 25 PDCs) M/F = 9/8, 11.9 years 2. RPE/HG group: 21 subjects (with 30 PDCs) M/F = 9/12, 11.1 years 3. CG, 22 subjects (with 26 PDCs) M/F = 9/13,11.6 years |
Panoramic radiographs, lateral cephalogram and measurement on dental cast |
Full eruption of the tooth which permitting bracket positioning for final arch alignment |
All groups: 18 months and 4 dropouts |
Successful eruption of the permanent canine were 82.3% in the HG group and 85.7% in the RPE/HG group significantly greater than those of the CG. No statistically significant difference was found for the prevalence of successful subjects between the HG and RME/HG groups (P < 0.001) |

RCT |
PDCs: diagnosed from PA radiographs according to the method by Sambataro et al. |
2 groups 1. RPE group 2. CG |
Total 54 subjects 1. RPE group: 32 subjects (with 42 PDCs) M/F = 12/20 8.8 years ± 9 months 2. CG: 22 subjects (with 31 PDCs) M/F = 8/14, 8.4 years ± 1 year |
PA cephalograms, panoramic radiographs and measurement on dental cast |
Full eruption of maxillary canine |
1. TG: 4.4 years, 3 dropouts 2. CG: 4.11 years, 3 dropouts |
The rates for successful eruption of the maxillary canines were 65.7% in the RPE group, and 13.6% in the CG. The different is statistically significant (P<0.001) |

RCT |
PDCs: diagnosed from panoramic radiographs according to the method by Ericson and Kurol |
4 groups 1. RPE/TPA/EC group: RPE followed by TPA therapy, and extraction of deciduous canines 2. TPA/EC group: TPA extraction of deciduous canines 3. EC group: extraction of deciduous canines 4. CG |
Total 117 subjects 1. RPE/TPA/EC group: 40 subjects (with 66 PDCs) M/F = 15/25, 10y5m ± 10m 2.TPA/EC group: 24 subjects (with 36 PDCs) M/F = 10/14, 10y9m ± 11m 3. EC group:24 subjects (with 34 PDCs) M/F = 10/14 11y1m ± 11m 4. CG:29 subjects (with 42 PDCs) M/F = 11/18, 10y5m ± 10m |
Clinical examination, panoramic and lateral cephalogram |
The full eruption of the canine, thus permitting bracket positioning for final arch alignment with an early permanent dentition and a post-pubertal stage of cervical vertebral maturation (CS 5 or CS 6) |
1. RPE/TPA/EC group: 3y6m ± 16m, no dropout 2. TPA/EC group: 2y9m ± 13m, 1 dropout 3. EC group: 2y2m ± 10 m, 1 dropout 4. CG: 3y1m ± 14m, 1 dropout |
The rate of successful eruption of the maxillary canines was 80% for the RME/TPA/EC group, 79.2% for the TPA/EC group, 62.5% for the EC group, and 27.6% in the CG. There are statistically significant differences between all the groups (P<0.05), with the exception of the RME/TPA/EC group vs. TPA/EC group |

pCCT |
Ectopic eruption of at least 1 maxillary canine overlapping sector II, III, or IV of the lateral incisor roots, diagnosed from panoramic radiographs, according to the method of Lindauer et al. |
3 groups 1. ECC: ectopically erupting canines with RPE 2. NEC: normally erupting canines with RPE 3. CG |
Total 77 subjects 1. EEC group: 32 subjects (with 49 ectopically erupting canines) (M/F = 13/19, 9.53 years ± 1.10 year 2. NEC group: 18 subjects (9 expanded subjects from the EEC group with unilateral normally erupting canines) (with 27 normally erupting canines) M/F = 8/10, 9.25 years ± 1.06 year 3. CG: 36 subjects (with 54 normally erupting canines) M/F = 17/19 ,9.03 years ± 0.72 year |
Panoramic radiographs |
– |
All groups: 1 year |
The ECC and NEC groups had greater angular, vertical, and horizontal canine improvements. RME had a positive impact on the eruption path of both the ectopically and normally erupting canines |

PDCs: intraosseous malposition of maxillary permanent canine diagnosed from panoramic radiographs according to the method of Ericson and Kurol |
2 groups 1. RPE/TPA/EC group: RPE followed by TPA and extraction of deciduous canines 2. CG |
Total 68 subjects 1. RPE/TPA/EC group: 39 subjects (with 65 PDCs) M/F = 15/24, 10y5m ± 10 m 2. CG: 29 subjects (with 48 PDCs) M/F = 12/17,10y5 m ± 10 m |
Panoramic radiograph, lateral cephalogram and measurement on dental cast |
