Relationship between upper lateral incisors anomalies and palatal displaced canine: a case-control retrospective study.
CONCLUSIONS: The female sex and the persistence of maxillary deciduous canines are associated with PDC. The anomalies of the lateral incisor do not seem to play a mechanistic role, but could rather represent a genetic variable of the canine eruption disorder.
