Impacted canine prevalence, localization, and related etiological factors among orthodontic sample of Fallujah city.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveCanine impaction isn't uncommon malocclusion and their treatment is complex and annoying to both patient and orthodontist. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of impacted canine in orthodontic patients of Fallujah city with determining the related etiological factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study consisted of 590 patients (412 females and 178 males) coming to the clinic for orthodontic treatment. A panoramic radiograph was taken for each subject. Cone beam computed tomography was taken for each patient with an impacted canine for accurate localization of trapped teeth. Patients with impacted canines were examined for number, distribution, crown depth, angulation and apical position of impacted teeth, lateral incisor condition, and presence of associated local factors.
resultsFor the total sample, forty patients (40) had impacted canines with a mean age of 22.6 years. Female to male ratio was 1.5:1. The maxilla represented 80.6% of total impaction cases. Palatally impacted canines represented 72.6% and were mostly seen bilaterally. The mandible formed 19.4% of impacted canines. Mesially and vertically angulated impacted teeth represented the majority of the cases for upper and lower jaws respectively. The impaction depth was recognized as D2 at the maxilla and D1 at the mandible as the commonest impaction level. Apical mislocation was presented in 21% of cases.
conclusionThe prevalence of impacted canines was 6.8%. Retained primary canines were associated with 76% of total impacted canines. About 32% of total maxillary impacted canines were associated with anomalous or missing lateral incisors.
