Sažetak

In this study the treatment of impacted canines during a 20-year period was analysed. The purpose of the analysis was to determine which type of treatment was most frequently used according to the patient age, and to determine if there were any changes in approach and surgical technique during this period.
Six patient groups were formed according to their age. Data for each group was obtained, statistically analysed, and charts made.
Out of the total 44186 patients 1866 had impacted canines (4.22%). Alveolotomy was most often used, i.e. 1451 out of a total of 1903 operations (76.2%). Corticotomy was used in 436 (23%), and transplantation in 16 cases (0.8 %). Alveolotomies were mostly performed on patients older than 30 years, and corticotomy and replantation were mostly used in patients 15-19 years old.
