BACKGROUND This retrospective study from a single center in Cyprus aimed to assess labial (buccal) and palatal bone thickness in 6 anterior maxillary teeth of 120 adults using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS The CBCT scans of 120 patients (720 teeth) were examined, with scanning parameters of 90 kvP, 24 s, 4 mA, voxel size 0.3 mm, and field of view of 10×6 cm.

Methods: CBCT images of 52 patients (19 male and 33 female) with unilateral impacted maxillary canines were selected. The volume, root, and total lengths of the lateral incisor, mesiodistal and buccolingual widths of the lateral incisor crowns, angles between the central axis of the lateral incisor and the midline, occlusal plane, and the central axis of canines in both the impacted and non-impacted side were measured and compared.
