About

Our research question will be, can automatic segmentation of maxillary impacted and unerupted canine using DentalSegmentator tool in 3D silcer software be as accurate as manual segmentation?

Enrollment: 21 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 8 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Age ranges from 8-70y (from 8 to less than15y for unerupted group - from 15 to 70y for impacted group). b. Scans clearly showing unerupted and impacted maxillary canines.

Exclusion criteria

1. Scans with artifacts obscuring the area of interest.
2. Scans with fractures or pathological lesions obscuring the area of interest.
3. Image blurring due to patient movement during acquisition which could interfere with image interpretation.
