STATISTICAL STUDY OF CANINE IMPACTION
Abstract:
This study is performed on 96 patients aged between 12 and 37 years old, and its aim is to present, based on clinical elements and imaging (radiologic) examinations, the main characteristics of maxillary canine impaction. The study highlights, statistically, the localization, distribution according to gender and age, quadrants, skeletal maturation, the correlation with other dental anomalies. According to this study, canine impaction predominates in females, the highest number being noticed at the age of 13-14. Canine impaction also predominates at palatine level and in the 2nd quadrant. Other anomalies are associated, especially anodontia and microdontia of the lateral incisor, only in the case of palatine canine impaction; this fact underlines its genetic determinism. The same is also true in the case of bilateral impaction.
