Abstract
The prevalence of buccally malposed canines of Yemenis was estimated in Yemen by
intra-oral visual examination of 192 young adult subjects (118 males and 74 females). Their
mean age was 20.9 years. 73 subjects of the whole sample had normal occlusion, while the
rest had different classes of Angle’s classification of malocclusion. Unexpectedly, the
prevalence of the mandibular buccally malposed canine (8.9%) was higher than the maxillary
buccally malposed canine (5.2%). Generally, buccally malposed canines were found higher
in females than in males and mostly seen in class l Angle’s classification. (J Coll Dentistry
