Abstract:ObjectivesThe primary objective of this study was to assess the validity of the KPG index in predicting the difficulty of treatment involving impacted maxillary canines. The secondary objective was to assess the reliability and reproducibility of the index.Materials and MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 96 maxillary impacted canines (MIC) in 60 patients aged 13–35 years. Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were used to predict the treatment difficulty of MIC using the KPG index. Patient case… Show more
