Table 2 Evaluation of root dilaceration angle and length of the dilacerated part of the root.
Dilaceration | Impacted canine n=40 | Contralateral canine n=40 | Mean difference | p | Pearson correlation coefficient | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean (SD) | Mdn. (Min–Max) | Mean (SD) | Mdn. (Min–Max) | ||||
Angle (°) | 43.13 (16.08) | 39.2 (24.0–88.4) | 34.29 (10.97) | 34.3 (11.2–54.0) | 8.84 | 0.614 | −0.108 |
Length of the dilacerated part of the root (mm) | 3.25 (1.11) | 3.0 (1.8–5.7) | 3.02 (1.18) | 2.8 (1.1–5.2) | 0.25 | 0.707 | −0.081 |
SD – standard deviation; Mdn – median; Min – the lowest observation; Max – the highest observation. |
