Root Resorption On Adjacent Teeth Associated With Included Permanent Canines: A Study With Computerized Tomography

Introduction: The most common complication that an impacted canine can generate is root resorption in neighboring pieces. The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence and location of root resorption in teeth adjacent, diagnosed with computed tomography. The database of the diagnoses of all the patients evaluated during theMethod: years 2020 and 2021 between 15 and 22 years of age was reviewed. All the pieces with the diagnosis of included canine were included in the study. Those pieces with incorrect diagnosis and those that did not have an image or its report were excluded. The variables: affected teeth, damaged root third and compromised root canal were analyzed. Of theResults: total of 62 patients, 14 presented root resorption associated with included canines. Of these 14 patients, all were female. The frequency of root resorption generated in neighboring teeth was 25.37%. The most affected pieces were lateral incisors (58.82%). Our results reported a similar frequency of root resorption compared to internationalConclusion: studies on the subject, following a similar pattern in terms of their affected surface in the root thirds.

Frequency Of Included Canines, Their Location And Direction Through Computerized Tomography, In Santiago, Chile.

Introduction: Dentomaxillofacial anomalies are frequent, among which we find the inclusion of definitive canines. The diagnosis of included canine becomes important when planning an orthodontic treatment. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of included canines, their location and position in the arch through the analysis of computed tomography, in patients undergoing orthodontic evaluation in Santiago, Chile. The database of the diagnosesMethod: of all the patients evaluated during the years 2020 and 2021 between 15 and 22 years of age was reviewed. All the pieces with the diagnosis of canines included in the study were included. Those pieces with incorrect diagnosis and those that did not have an image associated with the diagnosis or its report were excluded. The computed tomography scans of each piece were analyzed, evaluating the variables piece included, position in the vertical axis, direction and position in the mesiodistal direction. 67 included canines from 63 patients were analyzed. Of these 63 patients, 68.7% wereResults: women. A frequency of 0.36% of included canines was determined. 6.34% were bilateral. The piece with the highest frequency was the upper left canine. This is the Chilean study with the largest sample size on the subject toConclusion: date.The frequency found was lower than the average of similar studies, possibly due to the age range analyzed.
