The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of canine impaction, which could be a cause of malocclusion, in the population in the western province of Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n A retrospective analysis of digital orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 400 patients aged 12\u201340 years, who are citizens of Saudi Arabia residing in the western province and who presented for treatment at the dental clinics of Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were included. The OPGs and dental records of these patients were reviewed for canine impaction and were categorized based on age, gender, and type of impaction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n The prevalence of patients that exhibited canine impaction was found to be 4%. Males had a significantly higher percentage of prevalence than females (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.016), and impaction was significantly higher among patients aged below 18 years (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). Moreover, the most commonly observed impaction was mandibular canine impaction (87.5%).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Prevention of malocclusion and maintenance of a normal dentition (better aesthetics and chewing) necessitates early detection of impacted canines.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jos.jos_65_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]],"date-time":"2023-11-06T01:30:18Z","timestamp":1699234218000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Prevalence of canine impaction in the western province of Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Dareen Khalid","family":"Aljehani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthodontics, Dentistry Program, Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.14219\/jada.archive.1992.0069","article-title":"Canine impaction identified early with panoramic radiographs [published correction appears in J Am Dent Assoc 1992 May; 123(5):16]","volume":"123","author":"Lindauer","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Am Dent Assoc"},{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"R3-20240830","first-page":"S234","article-title":"Impacted canines: Etiology, diagnosis, and orthodontic management","volume":"4","author":"Manne","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Pharm Bioallied Sci"},{"key":"R4-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"557","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2015.06.013","article-title":"Etiology of maxillary canine impaction: A review","volume":"148","author":"Becker","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop"},{"key":"R5-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-022-02249-4","article-title":"Predictive factors associated with adjacent teeth root resorption of palatally impacted canines in Arabian population: A cone-beam computed tomography analysis","volume":"22","author":"Al-Kyssi","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMC Oral Health"},{"key":"R6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1590\/2177-6709.24.1.074-087.bbo","article-title":"Orthodontic traction of impacted canines: Concepts and clinical application","volume":"24","author":"Cruz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Dental Press J Orthod"},{"key":"R7-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e129","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jormas.2021.03.013","article-title":"Treatment for critically impacted maxillary canines: Clinical versus scientific evidence -
