Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem the treatment of which usually requires an interdisciplinary approach. Surgical exposure of the impacted tooth and the complex orthodontic mechanisms that are applied to align the tooth into the arch may lead to varying amounts of damage to the supporting structures of the tooth, not to mention the long treatment duration and the financial burden to the patient. Hence, it seems worthwhile to focus on the means of early diagnosis and interception of this clinical situation. In the present article, theories related with the etiology of impacted canines and predictive variables of canine impaction in the mixed dentition are reviewed with an insight into current interceptive treatment modalities.

Dental arch dimensional changes in deep bite adults treated with orthodontic fixed appliances in conjunction with maxillary incisor vs. canine bite turbos during the levelling and aligning phase: a randomized clinical trial.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Orthodontic Section, Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkhla, 90112, Thailand.
Introduction: This randomized clinical trial compared arch dimensional changes, dentoskeletal changes, and the rate of overbite correction in deep bite adults treated with fixed appliances and either maxillary incisor bite turbos (IBT) or canine bite turbos (CBT).
Materials And Methods: Forty-six deep bite subjects treated with fixed appliances were randomized into IBT (n = 23) and CBT (n = 23) groups. Changes in intercanine width (ICW), arch height (AH), and Little's Irregularity Index (LII) were analyzed from before treatment (T) to 3 months after aligning with 0.
Normative Palatal Measurements in Infants: Implications for Nasoalveolar Molding in Cleft Lip and Palate Patients.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina.
Background: Children with cleft lip ± palate (CL/P) may undergo nasoalveolar molding (NAM) before surgery to achieve arch alignment and tension-free closure, yet the endpoint of arch dimensions has not been defined.
Objective: To characterize the size and shape of infant palates using anatomic landmarks on magnetic resonance imaging in infants without CL/P.
Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging of infants without cleft palate younger than 3 months were reviewed and 13 measurements were taken to define palatal shape: distance between incisive foramen (IF) and incisors (IN), IF and middle of canines (MOC), between MOCs, between first molars (FM), 2 depth and 4 angle measurements.
Finite element analysis of stress distribution in cantilever resin-bonded zirconia fixed dental prosthesis and periodontal tissue with alveolar bone loss.
J Prosthodont Res
January 2025
Department of Masticatory Function and Health Science, Division of Oral Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: To compare the stress distribution in loaded zirconia resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) and periodontal tissue using finite element analysis, considering reduced alveolar bone levels and the number of retainers.
Methods: A human skull was micro-CT scanned. Three framework designs were tested: a 2-unit RBFDP using the maxillary left central incisor (#21) as an abutment, another using a canine (#23), and a 3-unit RBFDP using both #21 and #23.
Scan accuracy of recently introduced wireless intraoral scanners in different fixed partial denture situations.

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland;; Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Material Science, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Objective: To compare the in vitro scan accuracy (trueness and precision) of recently introduced wireless intraoral scanners (IOSs) to commonly used wired IOSs in different fixed partial denture (FPD) situations.
Methods: Three partially edentulous maxillary models with implants located at different sites (lateral incisors [Model 1]; right canine and first molar [Model 2]; right first premolar and first molar [Model 3]) were digitized with wireless (Primescan 2 [P2] and TRIOS 5 [T5]) and wired (Primescan [P1] and TRIOS 3 [T3]) IOSs (n=14 per IOS-model pair). The models were also digitized with an industrial-grade optical scanner for their reference scans.
Comparative analysis of estimated age by pulp-to-tooth area ratio using CBCT in three different teeth on a subset of Hyderabad population: A preliminary study.
J Forensic Odontostomatol
December 2024
Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Army College of Dental Sciences.
Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the pulp-to-tooth area ratio in permanent maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines for age estimation using three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography images.
Methods: Hundred cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients aged between 12-70 years were retrospectively studied using NNT Viewer software version 13. Pulpal and teeth area were evaluated with the "area tool" in the acquired images in all three planes, and the pulp-to-tooth area ratio (PTR) was calculated with the measurements obtained.
