case_images: The panoramic radiograph [Figure 2] shows that all permanent teeth are present and in their normal eruptive path except for the upper left permanent canine that is horizontally impacted with the tip of the canine reaching the apex of the central incisor, which is further seen in the periapical radiographs [Figure 3].
