Aim: To study the positions and angulations of Maxillary canine impactions.

Materials and Method: The CBCTs of 30 patients who reported with Maxillary canine impactions to the outpatient department of Saveetha Dental College was assessed. The impactions were assessed based on the following variables: Age, Gender, Type of impaction – Buccal/Palatal/In arch, Unilateral or bilateral, Canine angulation, Vertical height, Erikson and Kurol ischolar_main resorption, Power and Short’s Vertical position.

Results: The p-value generated for Vertical height was 0.01670<05, indicating a statistical significant vertical height, while that for canine angulation was 0.374>0.05, indicating a statistical insignificance.

Conclusion: From this study,it was observed that an angulation exceeding 31 degree of the impacted canine decreased the chances of eruption. Also the vertical height of the canine was a factor in determining the impaction of canines.
