Root morphometry of the lateral incisor as a contributing factor to the impaction of maxillary canines: A comparative study
Individuals with impacted maxillary canines (IMC) exhibit shorter root lengths of the adjacent lateral incisor compared to the non-impacted side, with bicortical IMC cases showing the shortest lengths, approximately 2 mm shorter than other types of impactions. Orthodontists should consider this condition when planning treatments involving IMC.
