Abstract:

Objective: The aim of this study was to correlate the position of impacted maxillary canines with Cone Beam CT (CBCT) and produce a guide called Computerized Tomography Examination Guide (CTEG) to help in choosing the proper type of orthodontic treatment plan either orthodontic traction, surgical intervention or surgical extraction. Methods: This study is a retrospective CBCT radiographic review of 21 patients with impacted maxillary canines. A total of 23 maxillary impacted canines were analyzed using ten (10) items from their CBCT radiographs; according to these items, a score is developed to suggest the proper orthodontic treatment plan and statistical correlation was done between the suggested treatment plan done by the Computerized Tomography Examination Guide (CTEG) and actual treatment performed to those impacted maxillary canine to test the (CTEG) guide validity. Conclusions: The original treatment plans were 100% in agreement with the Computerized Tomography Examination Guide (CTEG). This study suggests that this guide could help in choosing the type of orthodontic treatment planning in quick and safe way and it is especially helpful for clinicians that are not familiar with CBCT analysis.
