<![CDATA[Objectives: This research aims to describe the frequency and distribution of characteristics of maxillary central incisor impaction based on panoramic radiographs at RSKGM FKG UI and RS UI using the Mitchell and Bennet, Smailiene, and modified Winter classifications. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 cases of maxillary central incisor impaction that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using secondary data. The characteristics of impaction were evaluated based on the Mitchell and Bennet, Smailiene, and modified Winter classifications. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were assessed using Cohen’s Kappa test. Results: Of the 23,750 panoramic radiographs evaluated, the prevalence of maxillary central incisor impaction ranged from 0.12% to 0.35%. The most frequently observed impaction patterns were the far category in the Mitchell and Bennet classification, apical third depth (v3) in the Smailiene classification, and labiopalatal orientation in the modified Winter classification. Cohen’s Kappa values indicated very good reliability. Conclusion: Evaluation of impaction classifications demonstrated diverse impaction patterns.]]>
