Body<br />
Objectives: The aim of this multi-center study w<strong>as</strong> to investigate the prevalence and patterns<br />
of impacted and transmigrated maxillary and mandibular canine teeth in a sample of the<br />
Turkish population.<br />
Methods: The records, panoramic, periapical radiographs and CBCT images (w<strong>here</strong> <strong>available</strong>)<br />
of 10,700 patients who referred to three different university hospitals (North Part, Middle<br />
Anatolian Part of Turkey and North Cyprus) between January 2007 and December 2011 were<br />
reviewed. An impacted canine w<strong>as</strong> considered to be transmigrated when at le<strong>as</strong>t part of its<br />
length had crossed the midline.<br />
Results: The number and prevalence of impacted and transmigrated canine teeth were 266<br />
(2.4%) and 37 (0.34%), respectively. Nine (%0.08) transmigrated canines were in mandible<br />
while 28 (%0.26) in maxillary segment.<br />
Conclusions: The early detection of impacted <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> transmigrated teeth is vital to ensure<br />
successful treatments, so demographic studies are important.<br />
