Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND Maxillary canine impaction is a common dental anomaly. Research suggests that genetics and the shape of lateral incisors are significant factors in the etiology of this anomaly. This study aimed to compare PAX9 (rs2073247) and MSX1 (rs12532) gene polymorphisms in buccal swabs of participants with and without maxillary canine impaction using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and to analyze...
