Aim: Dental impaction is a very frequent problem and the canine tooth is one of the most affected. Impacted canines result in many complications and their early diagnosis by radiographic evaluation is imperative. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of impacted canines in the Arab population in Israel(48Arabs). Materials and Methods: The panoramic radiographic records of 2200patients attending the Center for Dentistry Research and Aesthetics, Jatt/Israel , between June 2006 and December 2013 were examined for the study. The age of the patients ranged from 10.5 to 39,5years, with a mean of 16,2years. Results: The prevalence of canine impaction in males was 1,6% and 2,1% in females.in maxillary,and 0,6%mandibular The overall prevalence was 4,3 %. Maxillary left canines were the most frequently impacted Only 13 cases showed impaction of the mandibular canine. Unilateral impaction was seen in 0,5% of the patients. Conclusion: Canines play a vital role in facial appearance, dental esthetics, arch development, and functional occlusion. If signs of ectopic eruption are detected early, every effort should be made to prevent impaction and its consequences. Early intervention eliminates the need for surgical intervention and complex treatment.
