Prevalence of Maxillary Canine Impaction in Orthodontics At Eastern Riyadh Specialized Dental Center

Objective of this study is to highlight the prevalence of impacted canines in patients who had attended the orthodontic screening clinic at Eastern Riyadh Specialized Dental Center, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from January 2014 to December 2016. This was a retrospective study on 507 panoramic radiograph. All panoramic radiographs were taken with standardized equipment and specifications. Frequency and prevalence of the patients were recorded. Total number of males was 203 (40%) and 304 (60%) was female. The mean age of the patients was 16.78 years. A total number of 38 (7.5) patients was diagnosed with impacted canine 23 (4.5%) in females. Impacted canines were seen mostly as unilateral 24 (63.2%). Left was the most common site of impaction 16 (66.7%).
