A Comparative Evaluation of Bone Density Surrounding Buccally and Palatally Impacted Canines Utilizing Fractal Analysis: A Retrospective Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Study
Our analysis of the CBCT images revealed that bone density is higher around canines that are impacted palatally compared to those impacted buccally. Therefore, bone density is one of the local etiologic factors associated with the higher prevalence of palatal impactions.
