Improved eruption path quantification and treatment time prognosis in alignment of impacted maxillary canines using CBCT imaging

Treatment time prediction for alignment of impacted upper canines can be achieved at an improved certainty of up to 73.3 per cent by the proposed CBCT methods for quantifying eruption path length compared to OPT measurements. Due to absence of gender, age, and impaction side differences, the derived regression formula should be universally usable in non-syndromic/cleft adolescents with palatally impacted upper canines.
