Üst Gömülü Kanin Dişlerin Maksiller Kaide ile İlişkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between impacted maxillary canine teeth and maxillary base length.Material-Method: 142 patients (67 males, 75 females; a mean age of 16.34±1.07 years) who were admitted to the Department of Orthodontics of İstanbul Aydın University - Faculty of Dentistry for treatment were included in our study. In the retrospective study, the positions of maxillary canine teeth and their relationship with maxillary base length were examined in detail in cephalometric and panoramic radiographs. Results with p <0.05 were found to be statistically significant.Results: There was no statistically significant correlation was found between gender and canine impaction. Unilaterally impacted upper canines were found to be higher between genders. Palatal plane value of the unilaterally impacted canine group was found to be statistically greater. Significant difference was found between palatal plane variable and impacted canine. No significant difference was found between age and effective midfacial length variables based on canine. Examination of the correlation between effective midfacial length and palatal plane variables revealed a strong positive correlation, which was statistically significant. There was no significant difference between age, effective midfacial length and palatal plane variables in terms of gender.Conclusion: This study is the first to specifically address the relationship of impacted canines with the palatal plane. Therefore, the position of the canines has a major place in the evaluation of their relationship with the adjacent anatomical structures and teeth, especially during treatment planning.
