  • Title: Morphology of anterior teeth associated with displaced canines.
    Author: Brenchley Z, Oliver RG.
    Journal: Br J Orthod; 1997 Feb; 24(1):41-5. PubMed ID: 9088602.
    Abstract:
    This clinical study compared tooth dimensions of maxillary central and lateral incisors on the same side as a palatally impacted maxillary canine with those of the contralateral side with a normally erupted canine, in a group of 33 consecutively referred patients. The dimensions recorded were the mesio-distal width, labio-palatal depth, obtained from models of the four upper anterior teeth and total tooth length obtained from an orthopantomographic radiograph. The results showed that there was no statistically significant evidence to support the view that palatally impacted maxillary canines are associated with diminutive maxillary lateral incisors.
