Background: The aim is to demonstrate the validity of the monitoring through intraoral scanner of the dental movements and the real impact, advantages, and convenience, in terms of treatment time and efficiency gain, to frequently monitor a patient with the scanner application. Methods: A movement control of palatally impacted canines was performed, surgically treated with laser opercolectomy. Three-dimensional models of the patient’s dental arch were obtained with intraoral scanner during a monitoring time of 4 months.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate three-dimensionally the dental movement of impacted palatally canines, following an opercolectomy performed by laser. We also monitored patients with both digital and conventional method, with the purpose of evaluating the accuracy and validity of the monitoring methods compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 10 patients, 5 with double inclusion and 5 with single inclusion, for a total of 15 canines, impacted in the palatal site, were considered.
