ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of teeth other than the third molar teeth to remain impacted. Material & Methods: A total of 2674 adult persons (Male/Female: 1146/1528; 42.8%/57.2%) were included in this study. Panoramic radiograms of the patients were evaluated by three oral and maxillofacial radiology specialists for the presence of implanted teeth. Chi-square test was used to compare the distribution of the impacted teeth to genders and localization in the maxilla and mandible. P <0.05 values were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 167 impacted teeth were found in 135 patients. Of these, 74 were in females and 61 in males. The majority of the impacted teeth consisted of maxillary canines. Conclusion: This epidemiological study showed close similarities with the previous studies, and we recommend examination on a larger number of individuals in the same population.
