COMPARATIVE RADIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS: PALATINE CANINE IMPACTION – MAXILLARY CANINE VESTIBULAR IMPACTION
Abstract:
The present paper is the result of a study performed by sampling, transversally and retrospectively, of the X-rays, models, and photos of certain patients who came to the orthodontist for a specialty examination between 2000 and 2011. The patients included in the study were aged between 12 and 37 years old and had late mixed dentition and permanent dentition. Regarding the skeletal development, the patients belonged to stages CS4-CS6 (skeletal maturation). This study attempts to identify the characteristics of the palatine and the maxillary impacted canine, both dental and skeletal. The association of maxillary canine impaction and others anomalies were noted, such as microdontia or/and anodontia of the maxillary lateral incisor, the angle of impaction, the degree of overlapping of the canine on the root of the lateral incisor, the anteroposterior position of the apex of the canine, mandibular rotation, facial height – anterior and posterior, SNA-angle, the position of the maxillary central incisors. This can be useful to establish correlations between the etiology and treatment possibilities, as well as to determine the best moment to begin the treatment or the assessment of the average length of the active treatment.
