The influence of dilacerated impacted maxillary central incisors on the incisive canal and nasal cavity characteristics: a retrospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental anomalies significantly impact oral structures, particularly impacted maxillary central incisors. These anomalies can complicate interactions with nearby anatomical features like the incisive canal and nasal cavity. Accordingly, this study aimed to three-dimensionally and comprehensively assess the effects of dilacerated impacted maxillary central incisors on the characteristics of incisive canal and nasal cavity.

Materials and methods

A seventeen cone-beam computed tomography images with an average age of 8.98 ± 0.925 years were classified into a control group and a dilacerated impacted maxillary central incisor group (DIMCI group), each containing 35 patients. A linear, angular, and volume measurements of the incisive canal and nasal cavity were measured
