Relationship between the maxillary transverse dimension and palatally displaced canines: A cone-beam computed tomographic study.

Conclusions: The maxillary transverse dimension, both skeletally and dentally, had no effect on the occurrence of PDC. The higher prevalence of permanent tooth agenesis was found in the PDC group. Moreover, the mean mesiodistal width of maxillary lateral incisors in the PDC group was significantly smaller than in the control group (P < .05). PMID: 25098187 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
