This study aimed to reveal the correlation between the radiolucency area around the crown of impacted maxillary canines and dentigerous cysts using cone beam CT (CBCT). CBCT data were obtained from patients with impacted maxillary canines. Three points of five areas (tooth cusp area and buccal, lingual, mesial and distal areas of the crown) were randomly selected, and the distance between the point and the surrounding hard tissue was measured respectively. The mean values were recorded as the radiolucency area. These results were compared with the occurrence of dentigerous cysts during surgery. 58 patients with 76 impacted maxillary canines were included. 14 of the 76 impacted canines were accompanied by cysts (18.42%). With the increase in the thickness of the radiolucency area, the incidence of cysts was significantly increased (p < 0.05). No cysts were found in the compacted canines with 0–1 mm thickness of the radiolucency area. The highest incidence (71.43%) was observed in canines with 3–4 mm thickness of the radiolucency area. This study found that the thickness of the radiolucency area around the crown of the maxillary impacted canine was closely related to the occurrence of dentigerous cysts. CBCT can be used to estimate the occurrence possibility of dentigerous cyst and guide surgical operations.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to assess the mid-facial soft tissue changes induced by a micro-implant-supported maxillary skeletal expander in late adolescents and young adults by cone-beam computerized tomography and the correlations between hard and soft tissue changes after expansion with maxillary skeletal expander.Subjects and methods Twenty patients with maxillary transverse deficiency treated with maxillary skeletal expander were selected. Cone-beam computerized tomography images taken before and after expansion were superimposed to measure the changes in soft and hard tissue landmarks.Results Anterior nasal spine, posterior nasal spine, and alveolar bone width were significantly increased after expansion with maxillary skeletal expander (p < 0.05). The average lateral movement of the cheek points was 1.13 ± 0.33 mm (left) and 1.41 ± 0.39 mm (right), while that of the alar curvature points was 1.07 ± 0.72 mm (left) and 1.06 ± 0.68 (right) (p < 0.05). The average forward displacement of the cheek points was 0.42 ± 0.66 mm (left) and 0.60 ± 0.58 mm (right), whereas that of the alar curvature points was 0.80 ± 0.67 mm (left) and 0.68 ± 0.56 mm (right) side (p < 0.05). The average downward movement of the subnasale was 0.40 ± 0.37 mm (p < 0.05). The changes in cheek points and alar curvature points on both sides significantly correlated with hard-tissue changes (p < 0.05).Conclusions Maxillary expansion using maxillary skeletal expander resulted in significant lateral and forward movement of soft tissues of the cheek and alar curvature points on both sides and correlated with the maxillary suture opening at the anterior and posterior nasal spines.
