Incisor root resorption associated with palatally displaced maxillary canines: Analysis and prediction using discriminant function analysis

ConclusionsCanines in contact with adjacent incisor roots was the only risk factor detected for PDC-IRR. Very good predictive discrimination (83%) emerged for PDC-IRR subjects. Predictors of PDC-IRR were canine contact with adjacent incisor, size of canine dental follicle, and presence of peg-shaped lateral incisor.
