Introduction: The most common complication that an impacted canine can generate is root resorption in neighboring pieces. The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence and location of root resorption in teeth adjacent, diagnosed with computed tomography. Method: The database of the diagnoses of all the patients evaluated during the years 2020 and 2021 between 15 and 22 years of age was reviewed.All the pieces with the diagnosis of included canine were included in the study. Those pieces with incorrect diagnosis and those that did not have an image or its report were excluded.The variables:affected teeth,damaged root third and compromised root canal were analyzed. Results: Of the total of 62 patients,14 presented root resorption associated with included canines.Of these 14 patients,all were female. The frequency of root resorption generated in neighboring teeth was 25.37%. The most affected pieces were lateral incisors (58.82%). Conclusion: Our results reported a similar frequency of root resorption compared to international studies on the subject,following a similar pattern in terms of their affected surface in the root thirds. |
