Description
Begüm Turan Maviş and Ahmet Yasin Aktaş compared, in a 2026 dental study, jaw joint knob shapes on the two sides of patients with one upper canine tooth stuck in the gum. Missing canine guidance might reshape the joint unevenly, and panoramic X-rays offered a cheap look.
The records covered 364 patients, classed by whether the stuck tooth sat right or left. Knob shapes were sorted into round, angled, flat, and pointed, then compared side to side within each person and by age band. No side difference reached significance in any group. Older patients showed fewer round knobs and more angled or pointed ones on both sides alike. A stuck canine alone, they conclude, does not bend joint shape.
