Morphology of the maxillary lateral incisor in cases of unilateral impaction of the maxillary canine

RG Oliver, JE Mannion and JM Robinson
University of Wales College of Medicine, Dental School, Health Park, Cardiff.

Two groups of subjects who demonstrated unilateral maxillary canine impaction were examined, a Caucasian group and an Oriental group. It was found that there are significant differences between the groups for sex of patients seeking treatment, site of impaction (buccal/palatal), and arch form. The Oriental group was significantly more crowded in the canine area than the Caucasian group. In almost all cases the dimensions of the lateral incisor on the side of impaction were smaller than the non-impacted side, although five subjects from the Caucasian female sub-group did not conform to this pattern, and for the Oriental male sub-group the mesiodistal crown width was larger on the impacted side.
