The study aimed to conduct a three-dimensional comparison of skeletal and dentoalveolar dimensions in patients with unilateral palatal canine impaction, compare the impacted and non-impacted sides, and assess differences according to gender, presence or absence of the deciduous canine, and side of impaction.<\/p>\n

The study yielded a number of key findings summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Unilateral palatal impaction of the maxillary canine was associated with significant \u200easymmetry in skeletal and dentoalveolar dimensions.\u200e<\/li>\n
  • The impacted side showed smaller alveolar width at the premolar region, smaller \u200ecanine dimensions, and shorter quadrant length.\u200e<\/li>\n
  • Significant differences were observed in the lateral inclination of incisors and canines \u200ebetween the impacted and non-impacted sides.\u200e<\/li>\n
  • Retention of the deciduous canine was associated with increased alveolar and dental \u200ewidth at the premolar region.\u200e<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In light of these findings, the researcher recommended the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for early diagnosis of unilateral palatal impaction of the maxillary canine.<\/li>\n
    • Assessing alveolar width at the premolar level and early intervention with appropriate expansion.<\/li>\n
    • Careful treatment planning to avoid root resorption and to prevent premature extraction of the deciduous canine without adequate expansion.<\/li>\n
    • Close monitoring of the eruption path of the canine, especially in female patients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The defense session was attended by a number of academics, researchers, students, colleagues, and the researcher\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
