“…Bilateral impaction was present in 22.3% of the investigated impactions. These results are in consistency with recent literature findings where bilateral impactions were found in 20-25% of the cases 4,6,20 .…”

Background/Aim. An impacted tooth is a tooth that could not erupt and take its place in the dental row. Impacted maxillary canines are a very frequent problem in the orthodontic practices. They are the second most impacted teeth, right after the third molars. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the two-dimensional and three-dimensional position of the impacted maxillary canines as well as to make a descriptive study analysis of possible indicators of the impaction difficulty and risk factors for adjacent tooth root resorption. Methods. 94 subjects with 116 diagnosed maxillary canines impaction (CI) were included in the investigation. The two-dimensional position of the impacted canines (IC) was evaluated on the panoramic projection of the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Canine position (CP) to the X, Y and Z-axis was measured and scored using the novel classification system that incorporates three-dimensional information of CBCT imaging, the KPG index. Based on the KPG index value, impaction was defined as easy, moderate, difficult, and extremely difficult. Descriptive variables (gender, side of impaction, etc.) and numeric variables [age, canine distance to the occlusal plane (OccP), etc.] were tested with multiple logistic regression as potential predictors of the impaction difficulty and possible risk factors. Results. The mean age of the subjects was 19.8?5.2 years. The impactions were twice as more prevalent in females, compared to males. Most impactions were unilateral (71.4%) in palatal position. Adjacent root resorption was present in 27.3% cases of impaction, and the central incisor was mostly affected. More than half of impactions were of moderate level. In univariable analysis, canine distance to sagittal medial line (SML), canine angulation (CA) to SML and OccP and CA to first premolar were significant in impaction difficulty prediction. Multivariable analysis showed that CA to the first premolar could be a risk factor for adjacent root resorption. Conclusion. Most of the impacted maxillary canines were in palatal position, with KPG index value of moderate difficulty. Beside the position to the OccP and SML, CA to the first premolar should be estimated, as a part of diagnostic procedures, to evaluate the risk of adjacent root resorption, to prevent resorption and to decide on the treatment plan.

“…Findings regarding gender indicate sexual dimorphism of CI, since females were twice more often affected compared to males, and these results agree with findings from the literature 5,6,20 . Sacerdoti and Baccetti 7 have found that females to males' prevalence of palatally displaced IC was in ratio 3:1.…”

“…According to a previous study done at the University of Baghdad, they suggest that buccal displacement of canines has the same influence as palatal displaced canines as both are often associated with different dental agenesis, impaction and anomalies (Rafeeq et al, 2020). In Kosovo, they found differences in width and length of lateral incisors in patients with palatal impacted canines in comparison to the control group where there is no impacted canine (Simić et al, 2019).…”

Background: In orthodontic facilities, maxillary canine impaction is a common clinical condition. The objective of this study will be to assess the prevalence of impacted canines among orthodontic patients with peg shape lateral in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: In this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study, was enroll orthodontists, dental interns and dental general practitioners to assess the prevalence of peg-shaped lateral incisors and impacted canines among orthodontic patients in Saudi Arabia during the period of August 2022 to March 2023. Orthodontists, dental interns and dental general practitioners will be invited to participate in this study. Results: The research enrolled 1522 citizens, with 53 percent of them working as general dentists; thirty-seven percent were dental interns and 16.3 percent being orthodontists. Canines were affected in 79.8% of cases. In 65.3% of cases, a panoramic radiograph was utilized for diagnosis, whereas cone-beam computed tomography was employed in 21.6 percent. Canine impaction was reported to be unilateral in 74.6% of subjects and bilateral in 25.4%. There was a significant association between diagnosis of impacted canines with profession of the medical practitioner, their gender and years of experience. Also, a significant association was noted with patients' gender and age (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The investigation demonstrated a significant frequency of impacted canines in Saudi patients. The right side was hit more frequently than the left side.Males had lower impactions than females. To avoid malocclusion and to maintain a healthy, normal dentition, which would enhance masticatory functioning; early diagnosis of impacted teeth should be done.

“…The etiology of canine impaction is multifactorial, encompassing both genetic and local factors 3,4 . The delay or complete cessation of tooth eruption may be due to a long and tortuous eruption pathway, trauma, improper position of the tooth germ, fibrous callus in mucoperiosteum, sclerotic changes in bone, mucosal thickening, existing impacted teeth, hyperdontia, odontoma, cysts, tumors, etc.…”
