Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between the morphology of maxilla and the palatally displaced canines (PDC). Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, there were 101 patients (45 males, 56 females) aged 12 to 16years, referred to Hamadan school of dentistry in 2014. They were divided into 3 groups: the bilateral PDC (PDCb) group (male=15, female=21), the unilateral PDC (PDCu) group (male=16, female=19), and the control group (male=14, female=16). Five morphology related variables including intermolar width, maxillary arch length, palatal vault depth, palatal intermolar area, and nasal width were measured using CBCT images with Dolphin Imaging software, version 11.5. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and the Dunnett test using SPSS software, version 16.0. Results: Only the palatal intermolar area and the palatal vault depth values were significantly less in the PDCu and the PDCb groups than those in the control group (the palatal intermolar area: 376.17, 381.93, and 423.75mm2, the palatal vault depth: 13.19, 13.42, and 14.59mm; respectively; P<0.05). For all the variables, there was no statistically significant difference between the PDCu and PDCb groups. Conclusion: Decreased palatal vault depth and palatal intermolar area may be correlated with greater chance of palatal displacement of canines. Future prospective studies in mixed dentition patients are needed as a predictive factor to find the probability of PDC.
