Background: Maxillary canine palatal impaction occurs in 1of 100 people. The present study was conducted to evaluate canine impaction usingpanoramic radiographs. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on52 patients with impacted canines. Angulation as a predictor of eruption afterextraction of the deciduous canine was measured previouslyvia a midline constructed from the perpendicularto the central incisors, and to a midline constructedfrom the mandibular central incisorinterproximal contact to the maxillary incisor interproximalcontact. Results: Out of 52 patients, males were 32 and females were 20. The mean angle was 62.00, median was 62.05, S.D was 11.67, minimum value was 42.01 and maximum was 88.12. 5 impactions were seen in sector I, 14 in sector II, 16 in sector III and 15 in sector IV. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs are useful in predicting the impaction of maxillary canine. Canine impaction is a common pathology encountered in routine basis.
Key words: Canine, Impaction, Panoramic radiographs.
