Abstract

Among all the dental problems, tooth impaction is one of the leading dental problems these days. It is stated as the improper infusion when the tooth has erupted at the predicted time. Canine impaction is the most egregious imposition and leads to frequent dental complications. Objective: To estimate the incidence of impacted canine in patients visiting tertiary care hospital of Peshawar, Pakistan Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Peshawar Dental College from 2018 to 2021. A total of 1326 patients visited the dental health care center during this period Results: Out of total 1326 patients, only 64 (4.8%) cases of affected canines were found with the orthomograph (OPG). Furthermore, these 64 individuals had affected canines in various sites, including the mandible, maxillary, left side and right side. Among total 64 patients, 153 impacted teeth were found on different locations. In these153 impacted teeth, 37 (24.2%) incidents of affected canines were recorded on the top right, whereas 49 (32%) were documented on the other side. However, 58 (37.9%) cases of impacted maxillary canine and only 9 cases (5.9%) of mandibular impacted canine were reported. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment processes should be required to prevent different problems of canine impaction. Moreover, proper awareness and treatment approaches should be used in order to eradicate the after-effects of canine impaction.
