“…Causes of impaction of maxillary canine have been searched in the literature by many studies [25][26][27][28][29][30]. As there are different etiological causes of impacted canines, maxillofacial and dentoalveolar structures are associated with impaction in some research [21].…”

“…This result shows that the eruption of labially positioned maxillary canines can play an important role in development of the palatal maxilla. Transverse growth of the maxilla was completed before the eruption of canines [28,29]; therefore, deficiency of the maxilla in the transverse direction can lead to impaction of canines. Furthermore, intermolar width with labial positioned APPROVED GALLEY PROOF impacted canine was found to be lower than in the control group.…”

Background:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of patients with unilateral impacted canine teeth compared to a control group. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records were retrospectively analyzed. Material/Methods:CBCT records of 64 patients with unilateral impacted canine teeth (57.8% female and 42.2% male) and 64 controls (59.4% female and 40.6% male) were retrospectively analyzed. On the CBCT images, intermolar width, arch length, arch perimeter, palatal width in the molar region at cementoenamel junction, palatal width in the molar region at the crest, palatal width in the molar region measured from mid-root level, nasal cavity width, and palatal depth were evaluated. Results:In the palatal width measurement from the mid-root variable, the measurement of labially positioned canines was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). In terms of intermolar width, the labial positioned impacted canines' values were lower than in the control group. There was a significant difference in terms of the perimeter variable and both palatinally and labially positioned impacted canines were significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). All parameters were compared according to sex, and measurements of male patients were significantly higher than in female patients (P<0.05). Conclusions:A labially impacted canine was strongly linked to a decrease in mid-root palatal and intermolar widths. Additionally, impacted canines positioned both palatally and labially were found to result in a reduced arch perimeter. Moreover, male patients with impacted canines exhibited notably greater anatomical measurements compared to female patients.
