Abstract
The impacted maxillary canine is a common problem in orthodontic
practice. Its exact etiology is unknown but it is suggested to be a
multifactorial process in its etiology. The treatment of the impacted canine
usually involves surgery and orthodontic treatment.
Early diagnosis of the problem allows early interceptive measures like
extraction of the deciduous canine with or without the use of headgear this
treatment option allows redirection of the maxillary canine to erupt in its
normal position.
The purpose of this study was to correlate and evaluate the
radiographic diagnosis of (3D) (CBCT) scans with that of panoramic (2D)
radiograph for localization of impacted maxillary canines
The sample enrolled in this study consisted of seventy cases with
impacted maxillary canine with age above 12 years old. 70 cases with
impacted canines (40 female and 30 male) were randomly selected involving
40 bilaterally impacted canine and 30 unilateral impacted canine including
12 at right side and 8 at left side.
They were selected after justifying the following criteria:
• Erupted upper incisors and first permanent molars.
• Good quality radiographs.
• No medical complications or congenital anomalies (eg. Congenitally
missed lateral incisor).
• No previous orthodontic treatment
• Patients with trauma, cysts or tumors were excluded.
