Abstract
Summary
Our study was directed towards comparing the morphologic characters of the
buccal and palatal impacted canine and their adjacent lateral incisor to find if these
differences may be considered an etiologic factor for the failure of the canine to
erupt as well as the side of direction of the impaction whether buccal or palatal.
We used 42 cone-beam computed tomography x-rays, 21 with buccal impacted
canine and 21 with palatal impacted canine. Different morphologic characteristics
for both the impacted canine and their adjacent lateral incisor were measured and
analyzed. We used the other side with normally erupting canine and adjacent
lateral incisor as a study group for the comparison purposes. Our measurements
were the mesiodistal dimension of the crown, crown length, root length, volume of
the crown, volume of the root and bone density surrounding the root.
