Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of impacted maxillary canines in a Kosovar population. Materials and Methods. The study consisted of a retrospective analysis of the records of 8101 patients treated in the University Dentistry Clinical Center of Kosovo between August 2001 and February 2004. The chi-squared test was used to examine potential differences in the distribution of impacted maxillary canines stratified by gender, age, location (left or right), and position. P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results. It was found that the incidence of impacted maxillary canines was 1.62%. Of the 131 impacted maxillary canines, 101 were in female patients and 30 were in male patients, a statistically significant difference. Ages were in the range of 9 to >20 years, with a mean age of 24.38 ± 8.09 years. Of these subjects, 99 (75.57%) had unilaterally impacted maxillary canines, while 32 (24.43%) had bilateral impactions, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.00002). Impacted canines in 92 subjects (70.2%) were palatally placed, and 18 (13.7%) were labially placed. This difference was also statistically significant (P < 0.00001). Conclusion. The incidence of impacted maxillary canines in the sample Kosovar population was 1.62%, which is comparable to the findings from previous studies.
目的。本研究的目的是调查科索沃人群中上颌阻生尖牙的发生率。材料与方法。该研究包括对2001年8月至2004年2月在科索沃大学牙科学院临床中心接受治疗的8101例患者的记录进行回顾性分析。采用卡方检验来检查按性别、年龄、位置（左侧或右侧）和位置分层的上颌阻生尖牙分布的潜在差异。P < 0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果。发现上颌阻生尖牙的发生率为1.62%。在131颗上颌阻生尖牙中，101颗在女性患者中，30颗在男性患者中，差异具有统计学意义。年龄范围为9至>20岁，平均年龄为24.38 ± 8.09岁。在这些受试者中，99例（75.57%）有单侧上颌阻生尖牙，而32例（24.43%）有双侧阻生，差异具有统计学意义（P < 0.00002）。92例受试者（70.2%）的阻生尖牙位于腭侧，18例（13.7%）位于唇侧。这种差异也具有统计学意义（P < 0.00001）。结论。样本科索沃人群中上颌阻生尖牙的发生率为1.62%，与先前研究的结果相当。
