The current study aims to identify the prevalence of impacted maxillary canines among the Saudi population in the Qassim region.
A total of 6,946 panoramic radiographs were collected retrospectively and screened by an experienced orthodontist to determine the frequency of impacted maxillary canines. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY, USA) was used to evaluate the significant differences between categorical variables such as gender and the position of impacted teeth.
Overall, 4,977 patients were included in the final analysis. There were 2,509 (50.4%) males and 2,468 (49.6%) females. The prevalence of impacted maxillary canines in our sample was 2.7%, with a higher prevalence of impacted maxillary canines in males (n=74, 2.94%) compared to females (n=60, 2.43%). The majority of the impacted canines were unilateral (n=105, 78.4%) compared to bilateral (n=29, 21.6%).
Impacted maxillary canines were found in 134 out of 4,977 (2.7%) patients. Males (2.94%) demonstrated a higher impaction rate than females (2.43%). However, the difference was not statistically significant.
本研究旨在确定卡西姆地区沙特人群中上颌阻生尖牙的患病率。
回顾性收集了6946张全景X线片，并由一位经验丰富的正畸医生进行筛查，以确定上颌阻生尖牙的发生率。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）（IBM SPSS Statistics，美国纽约州阿蒙克）来评估性别和阻生牙位置等分类变量之间的显著差异。
总体而言，4977名患者纳入最终分析。其中男性2509名（50.4%），女性2468名（49.6%）。我们样本中上颌阻生尖牙的患病率为2.7%，男性上颌阻生尖牙的患病率（n = 74，2.94%）高于女性（n = 60，2.43%）。大多数阻生尖牙为单侧（n = 105，78.4%），双侧的较少（n = 29，21.6%）。
在4977名患者中有134名（2.7%）发现上颌阻生尖牙。男性（2.94%）的阻生率高于女性（2.43%）。然而，差异无统计学意义。
