The Prevalence of Impacted Maxillary Canines in a Palestinian Population: A Retrospective Study
Open Journal of Stomatology
Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of impacted maxillary canines using panoramic radiographs. Methods: A sample of 1321 panoramic radiographs were retrospectively examined for the presence of impacted maxillary canines. The radiographs were obtained from the records of a private dental clinic from the year 2009 till 2016. Results: The prevalence of impacted canines among the examined population (n = 1321) was found to be 1.8%. There was a significant association between gender and canine impaction (P < 0.05), indicating that in the study population, the females had higher prevalence of canine impaction than males. Unilateral impaction accounted for 79% of the cases that showed at least one impacted maxillary canine while the bilateral impaction of the maxillary canines accounted for 20% of 24 cases that had at least one impacted maxillary canine. The results reveal significantly (P < 0.05) higher unilateral canine impaction compared to bilateral impaction. Fifty eight percent of the unilateral cases were on the right side while 42% were on the left side. No significant (P > 0.05) difference in the prevalence of right or left canine impaction was found. Conclusion: The prevalence of impacted maxillary canines (1.8%) in this study was within the range reported among other populations.

2020
The aims of the present study was to evaluate the incidence and pattern of canine impaction in a population in Zawia city, using panoramic radiographs.507ortho-pantomographs were retrospectively examined from private clinics in Zawia city, Libya, between January 2018 and September 2019 to identify incidence of impacted canines. The radiographs showing canine impaction were further screened for; gender, site (upper and lower) and location (left or right or on both sides of the jaw) to study the effect it had on canine impaction.Out of 507panoramic radiographs, 38 cases were reported with one or more impacted canines, this study reported an incidence rate of 7.4%, with a male to female ratio of 1:3.1. Maxillary canine impactions(84.2%) were more frequent than mandibular canine impactions(15%), 26% of impactions occurred bilaterally. Maxillary impactions located on the left side were more than on the right side, while mandibular impactions were equally occurred on both sides. In conclusion, the incidence of canine impaction in a population in Zawia city/Libya was found to be 7.4%; this was within the range reported by previous studies among other populations
