Abstract :Purpose: To compare skeletal and dentoalveolar measurements of subjects with unilateral impacted canine versus the non-impacted contralateral side using cone beam computed tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBCT);. Materials and method: 30 CBCTs with unilaterally impacted maxillary canines insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Buccal=15, Palatal=15); were selected. Skeletal and dentoalveolar variables insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(alveolar ridge height of incisors, dentoalveolar height, angulations of incisors and canines, basal lateral width and premolar width); were compared between the impacted and the contralateral sides. Independent t-test was used to compare the variables. Results: There was a significant difference in the mean basal lateral width between the impacted insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28.25±1.83 mm); and non-impacted insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.64±2.18 mm); sides. Premolar width was significantly lower on the impacted side insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The canines exhibited significantly greater angulations on the impacted side compared to the non-impacted side. The basal lateral width was significantly higher in the buccal subgroup insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(29.03±1.65mm); compared to palatal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(27.48±1.70mm); on the impacted side. The intra-operator reliability was found to be high insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.99%);. Conclusion: Significant differences were seen in canine angulation, premolar width and basal lateral width between impacted vs. non impacted sides. Basal lateral width was higher in buccal impacted cases compared to palatal.
