Eruption pattern of the maxillary canines: features indicating treatment needs as seen in PTG at the late mixed stage-Part II.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To describe features of maxillary permanent canines in the late mixed stage as seen in panoramic radiograph (PTG) that later needed treatment to erupt into the oral cavity and to compare them with naturally erupted canines.

Methods

The cross-sectional part of this retrospective register-based study consisted of 1454 PTGs of children (mean age 9.3 years) living in Eastern Finland, while the longitudinal part involved patient data on 184 treated maxillary canines.
