“…4 The most common missing teeth are third molars followed by mandibular second premolars and then upper lateral incisors. 5 The prevalence of tooth agenesis excluding third molar is ranging from 0.2 to 16.2%. Females are more affected by tooth agenesis.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between palatally impacted maxillary canine (PIC) and anomalous upper lateral incisor. METHODOLOGY: This case control study was conducted on records of 60 participants (30 with PIC and 30 without). The inclusion criteria were participants without syndromes, palatal canine impaction (cases only), and age range from 12 to 30 year. Subjects with buccally impacted canine, history of previous orthodontic treatment and non-Pakistani nationals were excluded. Cases were those having PIC and controls were without PIC. Participant's OPG and periapical X-rays were used to diagnose PIC by horizontal parallax technique. Dental anomalies in upper lateral incisor were diagnosed by using casts and OPGs. Logistic regression and chi-square test was applied to determine association between PIC and anomalous upper lateral incisor. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 18.916±4.3 years. The frequency of missing lateral incisor was higher in cases (n=3, 10%) than control (n=1, 3.3%). Similarly peg shape laterals was more in cases (n=4, 13.3%) than controls (n=2, 6.7%). However this association was not statistically significant (P=0.37). The odd of having anomalies in lateral incisor was 2.73 times higher in cases than controls but the results were not statistically significant (P=0.177). CONCLUSION: Though the frequency of anomalous maxillary lateral incisors is higher in participants with PIC than controls but this association was not statistically significant.

The correct sentence is: 21 wards in seven Village Development Committees across the Tarai of Nepal in 2015. References 1 and 2 are incorrectly placed within the second sentence of the first paragraph of the Introduction. The second sentence and references 1 and 2 should appear as: Reliable prevalence estimates, with consequent quality of life and economic burdens, of untreated dental diseases, remain virtually absent to date for lack of technical capabilities in resource poor settings. [1, 2] A full stop is missing at the end of the fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the Introduction. The correct sentence is: Notwithstanding the paucity of data, estimates that do exist suggest poor dental health to be a global public health problem, with 3.5 billion people having treatable, morbid dental conditions [5]. Reference 6 is incorrectly placed within the second sentence of the second paragraph of the Introduction. The correct sentence is: Commonly dental disease prevalence measures and indices such as the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended "decayed, missing, filled teeth" index (DMFT), the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S), and the Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Needs (CPITN) continue to remain under the sole purview of dental health scientists, clinicians and technical specialists, although structured questionnaires have occasionally been used to gather information on dental decay and pain by trained dentists in school and village settings. [1, 2, 6-8]. A full stop is missing at the end of the fourth sentence in the second paragraph of the Introduction. The correct sentence is: Specifically, while generating estimates of the burdens of most severe oral diseases, the GBD fails to capture antecedent conditions to severe periodontitis such as early tooth decay or poor oral hygiene practices that precede clinical disease [5].
