Abstract | ||||
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry. Before being identified, CBCT scans of those impacted teeth can disclose traits. After the third molar, the tooth that is most often retained in the maxilla is the upper canine. The predominant adverse and detrimental consequence of maxillary canine impaction is the surrounding teeth's root resorption (RR), which results in severe damage and may even cause tooth loss. The impact of impacted maxillary canines (IMC) on root resorption of adjacent teeth was assessed in this narrative review by collecting several articles from a variety of sources, including manual cross-reference and textbook searches and electronic databases like PubMed, SCOPUS, COCHRANE library, and Science Direct. MeSH terms and keywords about root resorption, impacted maxillary canines, and cone beam computed tomography were used in the search. Following a comprehensive evaluation of the collected articles, fifty-three articles were chosen for this review. | ||||
