Buccolingual and arch distribution patterns of permanent teeth impactions in an Egyptian population: a CBCT-based retrospective analysis

The prevalence of impactions is 7% in the non-syndromic Egyptian population. Patients present most commonly with a single impacted tooth. The higher prevalence of impactions in the maxillary arch and on the labial side of the arch warrants thorough clinical examination and radiographic assessment of these areas. Clinicians should pay special attention to canine impaction.
