Seventeen patients diagnosed with the extraction-based treatment of impacted maxillary canines will be included in this study. Each patient will undergo conventional 2D radiography including panoramic, and lateral cephalometric, in addition to 3D imaging by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A set of variables will be evaluated on 2D and 3D images by a panel of assessors and then these results will be compared with the gold standard which will be established based on surgical detection and direct visualization of the impacted canine.
