Objective: The purpose was to obtain information about the relation between agenesis and shape anomaly of maxillary lateral incisors and canine impaction. Methods: Seventy-three patients with canine impaction and 73 control patients, without canine impaction, were evaluated. The mesiodistal distances of the maxillary lateral incisors adjacent to the impacted canines and the correspondent mandib...

This study compared two different radiographic techniques for localization of impacted maxillary canines: vertical parallax (from a panoramic and a maxillary anterior occlusal radiograph) and magnification (from a single panoramic radiograph). The radiographs and the information regarding the impacted canines were obtained retrospectively from records of patients treated in the Day Stay Unit of...

The aim of the study was to determine whether there are differences in dental age (DA) using the method of Demirjian, in patients with impacted buccal or palatal maxillary canines in relation to unaffected controls. DA was estimated using Demirjian's method on panoramic radiographs of two groups of Caucasian patients. The study group consisted of 116 patients aged from 12 to 16 years (80 female...

Impaction of canine teeth is a clinical problem whose treatment usually requires an interdisciplinary approach. After the maxillary third molar, the maxillary canine is the second-most commonly impacted tooth, with an incidence of 1% 2.5%. Maxillary canines are more common in females than males. This study reviews the surgical treatments and orthodontic considerations for impacted canines expos...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical technique in the treatment of palatally impacted canines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six consecutive patients presenting with bilaterally impacted canines were compared. One canine was surgically exposed using a conventional surgical technique while the contralateral canine was exposed using a corticotomy-assisted technique. RESULTS After...

The canine tooth is important both functionally and aesthetically, being positioned between the anterior posterior teeth. upper has longest eruption path, forming in deepest part of maxillary bone often experiencing disorders, leading to significant aesthetic functional issues. Early detection management impaction are crucial pediatric dentistry, which focuses on growth eruption. prevalence ran...

Objectives: This cross-sectional study is designed to estimate the prevalence of both impacted maxillary canines and partially erupted maxillary canines in a group of Puerto Rican adolescents. Methods: A convenience sample of 155 adolescents, 13 to 18 year-of-age was recruited from 5 local high schools. University of Puerto Rico’s IRB approved the study, and the consent and assent were complete...
