Objective. To determine the effect of the impacted position of the maxillary canine on the root resorption of the adjacent incisor using Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. Methods. This was an analytic quantitative study. The research sample determined CBCT images of treatment patients at the Orthodontic Specialist Policlinic in Dental Hospital of Airlangga University over a three-year period and secondary data taken from Pramita Laboratory. CBCT photos that met the inclusion criteria, including mesially impacted canine or close to central or lateral incisors with completely formed anatomy were then analyzed. Multiple linear regression was used to determine x-axis, y-axis, z-axis position of the impacted canine on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisor, and the effect of impacted canines on all axes simultaneously on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisors. Results. The position of the impacted canine in the x-axis and z-axis planes had a significant influence on the root resorption of the adjacent incisor. Meanwhile, impacted canine from the y-axis plane showed non-significant influence on the root resorption. Conclusion. The position of the impacted canine when viewed in all planes of the tooth axis has a significant effect on the severity of root resorption of the adjacent incisor.
