20.500.12556/DiRROS-29724 Jaw morphology and factors associated with upper impacted canines case-controlled trial Introduction and aim: Orthodontic treatment of impacted maxillary canines is challenging and expensive. This study investigated factors associated with impaction risk and the need for surgical exposure. Methods: Seventy-five participants of similar age, skeletal maturity, and gender (32 impacted canines, 43 controls) were included in the case-controlled trial. Three-dimensional study models were created (Trios 3, 3Shape), and panoramic radiographs were taken. The 3D digital models were measured using software to obtain morphological characteristics of the maxilla, such as maxillary surface area (mm2) and volume (mm3). Results: The impacted canine group displayed a significantly higher prevalence of deep bite (OR = 5.01), hypoplastic lateral incisors (OR = 5.47), and rotated adjacent teeth (OR = 3.56) compared to the control group. The impacted canine group exhibited a smaller maxillary surface area and volume. Within the impacted canine group, factors associated with a greater need for surgical exposure included the presence of a persistent deciduous canine (OR = 10.15), a palatal canine position (OR = 7.50), and a steeper canine angulation (p < 0.001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that several signs can serve as potential predictors of increased risk for maxillary canine impaction and the need for surgical intervention. Identifying these factors can aid in early diagnosis and treatment planning for improved patient outcomes. maxillary canine impaction jaw morphology risk factors surgical exposure of impacted tooth zgornja čeljust morfologija čeljusti dejavniki tveganja kirurška izpostavljenost prizadetega zoba true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-06-03 15:07:50 2026-06-03 15:07:50 2026-06-04 04:04:46 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 13. 9. 2024; str. 1-13 iss. 17, [article no.] 7700 Vol. 14 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.31 2076-3417 10.3390/app14177700 207507203 RAZ_Golez_Aljaz_2024.pdf RAZ_Golez_Aljaz_2024.pdf 1 05F4C2B02E6D56D7EA28A0FA5E53F040 e26ae328006579451eacac67a29e6af6bb269abef0496fccaeec53e0c7ef5836 5526d41b-5f4d-11f1-9215-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=44663 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/17/7700 1 3a322110-5f4d-11f1-9215-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=44662 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
