Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of angular measurements from panoramic radiographs in locating impacted maxillary canines.
Retrospective study of 200 impacted maxillary canines (100 buccal, 100 palatal).
Angular parameters (alpha, beta, gamma) assessed on panoramic radiographs with confirmation via CBCT.
Statistical analyses conducted using Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and correlations analyzed with Pearson or Spearman tests.
Significant differences in all angular measurements between buccal and palatal groups (p<0.01).
Alpha and beta angles were specifically effective in distinguishing between positions.
High reliability of angular measurements confirmed with intraclass correlation coefficients.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
