All the obtained data were tabulated statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 (Chicago, USA). Results: Impacted canines were noted in 13 of 439 subjects with a prevalence of 3.03%, among which 7 (2.96%) were seen in males and 6 (3.12%) were seen in females. Out of these 13 impacted canines, 9 were observed in maxillary jaw, 3 in the right quadrant and 6 in the left quadrant. Four impacted canines were noted in mandibular jaw, 2 in right side and 2 in the left side.
