Abstract:
The maxillary canine is the second most frequently impacted tooth following third molars. The etiology of the impacted canine
is obscure, but probably multifactorial. There are some evidences that patients with a few certain features of occlusion may be
at higher risk to the development of impacted canine. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between
occurrence of canine impaction and other aspects of occlusion. This study was conducted with patients aged 10, 2 years or
older who consequently presented to Orthodontics clinic/jat, Israel. Prevalence of canine impaction in patients of an
orthodontic clinic were 3,7%. Angle's Class II was more prevalent occlusion, (61,36 %) malocclusion, Angle's Class I
(21,09%),whereas Angle's Class III (17,55%) malocclusion is the least prevalent among Arab population aged 10, 2-39, 5 in
Israel. Canine impaction showed no significant relationship with type of malocclusion.
