Abstract:

The position of the maxillary central incisor is essential in facial aesthetics. In orthodontic treatment, the maxillary central incisor moves in three-dimensional directions according to actual situations although the range of its movement is usually assumed to be restricted by the labial and palatal cortices. An incisive canal with an irregular anato-mical shape in the maxilla can be detected through cone beam computed tomograph (CBCT), and the wall of this canal is surrounded by dense cortical bones. If the maxillary central incisor invades it, the root will be absorbed. Therefore, the range of movement is closely related to the shape and position of the incisive canal and should be considered for the prevention of unnecessary injury to the tooth root. This article reviews the effect of the incisive canal on the three-dimensional movement of the maxillary central incisor.

Key words: incisive canal, maxillary central incisor, movement restriction, root absorption
