Generalizability
canine impaction, particular impaction
As the present study included particular impaction conditions with particular impacted canine’s locations and conducted on a specific patient group treated with specific mechanical orthodontic and surgical techniques in only one teaching hospital, the results of the current study can be limitedly generalized. In order to acquire results that are more generalizable, more randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes should be carried out in diverse populations with various types of canine impaction.
