- Abstract
The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of impacted canines and its association with other dental anomalies in a random sample of Yemeni population in Sana'a. This non-interventional, descriptive, cross-sectional study involved 2150 orthopantomogram (OPG) obtained randomly from different digital panoramic x-ray centers in Sana'a, Yemen from January 2018 to February 2020. This study was conducted over a period of 3 months from March 2019 to May 2020. Data collected was entered into a spreadsheet (Excel 2016; Microsoft, US) and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Among 2150 OPGs, impacted canines were found in 182 patients (9.2%), most commonly in females (66.5%). A statistically significant difference was found between the right and left sides (p <0.05), the mesioangular impaction was seen in 165 patients (66.3%), and level B depth of impaction was observed in 149 patients (59.8%). The most commonly associated anomaly with canine impaction was retention of deciduous canine (29.5%); the most common associated pathology was dentigerous cyst (10.4%). No relation was noticed between canine impaction and the third molar status (p >0.05). The present study provides useful data regarding the prevalence of canine impaction in Yemeni population, Sana'a city.
