Abstract

Objectives: To fi nd out if there is an association of MICs (Maxillary impacted canines) with third molar agenesis and other dental anomalies.
Materials and Methods: Data were collected using records of patients who visited the study setting during the study period. There were total 130 patients in the control group and 130 patients in the cases group. Pre-treatment records (OPG and CBCT) of all patients were used to assess impacted canines and missing third molars. Diff erence between the groups was assessed using
chi-square test for categorical data.
Results: The mean age was 20.2 ± 7.1 years for the control group and 20.2 ± 7.1 years for the cases group. In the control group, agenesis of third molar was found in 9.2% of the patients and in the impacted group the prevalence was found to be 42.3%. The results were statistically signifi cant. Other dental anomalies were also assessed, and the results showed that the MIC group had a higher prevalence of dental anomalies (36.2%) than the control group (5.4%).
Conclusion: Maxillary impacted canine patients showed a higher prevalence of third molar agenesis and other dental anomalies. There was a signifi cant association between impacted canines and tooth agenesis other than third molars.
