Abstract

Objectives:To determine the frequency of agenesis and shape anomaly of a maxillary lateral incisor in patients with canine impaction.
Materials & Methods:A sample of 50 cases having impacted maxillary canine were selected by convenient sampling technique. Participants are having an age of 13 -35 years and both genders included. The location of impacted canines was determined by using panoramic, periapical radiograph, and CBCT. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square test was used to compare the anomalies of upper lateral incisor among palatal and buccal canine impactions. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results:Males were 8(16%), and females were 42(84%). The mean age was 18.24±3.9 with an age range of 14 to 25 years. Out of the 50 impacted canines, 35(70%) were in palatal position, 12(24%) were in buccal, and 3(6%) were in the maxillary alveolar region. Most of the impacted maxillary canine cases have no anomalies in lateral incisors (n=36, 72%). Impacted lateral incisors were 6(12%), Peg shaped were 5(10%) and missing were 3(3%). Missing and impacted lateral incisors were more in female gender while peg-shaped lateral incisors were more in males(P<0.05). All Impacted and peg-shaped lateral incisor were associated with palatal while all missing lateral incisors associated with an impacted buccal canine was low (p<0.23).
Conclusion:Anomalies of lateral incisor were in 28% of cases having impacted maxillary canine, while patterns of anomalies of lateral incisors were different among genders and various types of impacted maxillary canine(palatal and buccal) (P<0.05).
