Table 3 The root dilaceration direction dependence on the eruption path length, impaction depth, and impaction height of impacted canines.
| Mean (SD) (mm) | Dilaceration direction | p | test | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mesial (n=20) | Distal (n=4) | Palatal (n=4) | Labial (n=1) | Kruskal-Wallis | ||
| Eruption path length | 13.38 (3.78) | 12.35 (1.89) | 23.62 (5.88) | 11.60* | 9.179 | |
| Impaction depth | 10.06 (3.45) | 7.88 (1.38) | 10.63 (5.54) | 11.40* | 0.203 | 4.603 |
| Impaction height | 12.60 (5.95) | 9.73 (4.37) | 13.50 (5.59) | 8.40* | 0.381 | 3.071 |
| * Root dilaceration of labial direction of impacted maxillary canine was found only for one patient and such a sample is too small in order to determine the standard deviation and the median. Labial dilaceration was not included in the statistical analysis. | ||||||
