ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of impacted and transmigrated mandibular canines and the association existing between them and some local factors, such as degrees of axial inclination of mandibular incisors, skeletal Class, and mandibular symphysis width.METHODS:
A retrospective observational study was performed on the medical records and radiographic examination (panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms) of 102 orthodontic patients divided into a study group, with at least 1 impacted mandibular canine (51 subjects) and a control group, without mandibular impaction (51 subjects). A chi-square test, t test, and analysis of variance test analysis were used to analyze the data.RESULTS:
Unilateral and buccal impaction and the presence of the deciduous canine were the more prevalent characteristics of impacted canines, whereas 39.2% presented transmigration. Furthermore, the persistence of the deciduous canine on the impaction side (P <0.0001) and the mesial axial inclination of the impacted canine (P <0.0001) were found to be statistically significant characteristics. A statistically significant association was found between the impaction of the mandibular canine and mandibular incisor to the mandibular plane angle (IMPA) (IMPA, 95.8°; P = 0.009). An additional statistically significant association was found with transmigrated canines (IMPA, 96.8°; P = 0.024).CONCLUSIONS:
The mesialization of the canine cusp and the persistence of the mandibular deciduous canine are characteristics frequently found in the impaction of the mandibular canine. An accentuated vestibular inclination of the mandibular incisors is significantly associated with mandibular canine impaction.
