Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the symmetry of the facial and dentoalveolar structures of patients with unilateral impacted maxillary canine teeth with acontrol group of individuals without impacted teeth using three-dimensional face scans. The study included 28patients (10females, 18males) with unilateral impacted maxillary canine teeth and 28patients (15females, 13males) without any impacted maxillary canine between 12and 25years of age. The 3dMDface™ (3dMD Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA) imaging system was used to obtain 3D face images. 3dMD Vultus® (3dMD Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA) software was used for the measurements. According to the study findings, there were differences in linear measurements and volume measurements between the right and left sides of the face in patients with an impacted canine. However, these differences were not statistically significant. In patients with an impacted canine, surface differences between the right and left halves of the face were not found to be statistically different from the control group. There was no difference in the amount of facial asymmetry between patients with unilateral maxillary impacted canine and patients with normal tooth alignment in the control group.
