Abstract Background: To quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate alveolar defects of mandibular anterior alveolar bone in three different types of malocclusion with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods: A total of 542 teeth from 30 skeletal class I malocclusion (mean age: 19.26±5.63), 33 class II malocclusion (mean age: 19.36±4.17), and 28 class III malocclusion (mean age: 21.47±4.53) patients were evaluated with CBCT. Sagittal sectional views were evaluated with regard to labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness and vertical alveolar bone level. Analysis of variance and Tukey’s test were used for statistical comparisons at P<.05 Results: Qualitative analysis: Class II (64.47%) and Class III malocclusions (58.43%) had higher prevalence of dehiscence than Class I malocclusions (32.96%),P<0.05. No significant difference was found in the prevalence of fenestration among the three groups. Quantitative analysis: In general, Class II and III groups had lesser alveolar bone volume than the Class I group. Furthermore, the vertical alveolar height and coronal alveolar bone thickness in Class II malocclusion was significantly lesser than that in the Class III group. Conclusions: The Class II group, followed by the class III group, showed the most severe alveolar bone deficiency For these patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, special care should be taken to avoid aggravated preexisting alveolar bone loss in the mandibular anterior teeth.

In this study, hydroxyapatite coated vs uncoated implants were used to evaluate the type and dimensions of bone defects after progressive peri-implantitis in dogs. Thirty-two dental implants with 4 different surfaces—machined (M), sandblasted acid-etched (SA), 1-μm thin sputter hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated (S), and plasma-sprayed HA-coated (P)—were inserted into the mandibles of 4 beagle dogs after extracting all mandibular premolars. Experimental peri-implantitis was induced after 3 months using ligature to allow for plaque accumulation. After 4 months, ligatures were removed and plaque accumulation continued for 5 months (progression period). The open flap surgery demonstrated 3 patterns of peri-implantitis bone defect: (1) Class I defect: represented as circumferential intra-alveolar bone loss; (2) Class II defect: circumferential intra-alveolar defect with supra-alveolar bone loss exposing the implant surface; and (3) Class III defect: represented as circumferential intra-alveolar defect with supra-alveolar bone loss and buccal dehiscence. Class I was the most frequent (62.5%) defect pattern around implant types M, SA, and S; while implant type-P showed a recurring majority of Class II (62.5%). Comparison among the 4 implant groups revealed a significant defect width (DW) in implant type-P relative to other types (P &lt; 0.01). However, no statistically significant differences were noted for defect depth (DD) (P &gt; 0.05). We concluded that the shape and size of peri-implantitis bone defects were influenced by the type and thickness of the HA coat together with the quantity of the available peri-implant bone. Plasma-sprayed HA-coated implants showed larger peri-implant defects than did thin sputter HA-coated implants.

Skull Thickness

Objective The objectives of this study were to determine the thickness of skull bones, namely frontal, parietal, and occipital bones in Class I, Class II, and Class III patients. Materials and Methods Three hundred subjects who reported to the Department of Orthodontics requiring orthodontic treatment within the age group 17-35 were selected for the study. They were subdivided into three groups of 100 each according to the skeletal and dental relation. Profile radiographs were taken and the tracings were then scanned, and uploaded to the MATLAB 7.6.0 (R 2008a) software. The total surface areas of the individual bones were estimated by the software, which represented the thickness of each bone. Result Frontal bone was the thickest in Class III malocclusion group and the thinnest in Class II malocclusion group. But the parietal and occipital bone thickness were not significant. During gender differentiation in Class I, malocclusion group frontal bone thickness was more in males than females, In Class II, malocclusion parietal bone thickness was more in males than females. No statistically significant difference exists between genders, in Class III malocclusion group. During inter-comparison, the frontal bone thickness was significant when compared with Class I and Class II malocclusion groups and Class II and Class III malocclusion groups. Conclusion The differences in skull thickness in various malocclusions can be used as an adjunct in diagnosis and treatment planning for orthodontic patients. It was found that the new method (MATLAB 7.6.0 [R 2008a] software) of measuring skull thickness was easier, faster, precise, and accurate.

Introduction: The position and movement of incisors play important role in orthodontics. Efficient tooth movement and stable position cannot be ensured without adequate alveolar bone support. The bone loss estimated by traditional radiograph is always less than real bone loss so CBCT is currently best to evaluate bone changes. The purpose of this study was to use CBCT to evaluate and compare changes in alveolar bone thickness and Vertical alveolar bone height around maxillary anterior teeth of Class I malocclusion patient after orthodontic treatment. Materials and Method: Forty patients with Class I occlusion between ages of 12 to 18 years were selected. The cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and lateral cephalograms were taken before treatment (T0) and after treatment (T1). The lateral cephalograms were used to assess the change in tooth inclination whereas CBCT was used to assess the alveolar bone change. All the data were statistically analyzed using paired sample t-test and independent sample test. Result: Significant changes in alveolar bone thickness and vertical bone height were found on the palatal surface of the anterior teeth compared to that of labial surface with significant change in tooth inclination. Conclusion: Based on the results, we can conclude that the palatal alveolar bone loss and vertical bone loss was greater than that of the labial alveolar bone.

The Relationship

Introduction: Correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion generally requires extraction of the premolars, followed by the retraction of the anterior teeth to reduce overjet. Morphometric evaluation of alveolar bone can be used to study the limitation of tooth movement to avoid adverse effects. The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in the bone thickness of the maxillary incisors in skeletal Class II malocclusion patients after retraction and determine the relationship between changes in bone thickness and the amount of retractions using lateral cephalometric radiographs. Materials and methods: The design of this study was to determine the cross-sectional changes in bone thickness in linear directions after retraction and the relationship between changes in bone thickness and the amount of retraction. Bone thickness in the linear directions was measured using digital cephalometric radiographs. Results: The measurement results from tracing 43 lateral cephalometric before and after anterior retraction treatment showed that there was a difference in alveolar bone thickness at the 9mm level from the CEJ in a linear direction on the anterior retraction of skeletal Class II malocclusion maxillary incisors (p <0.05), however, there was no difference in alveolar bone thickness at levels 3 and 6 mm from CEJ in the linear direction, and the angular direction (p> 0.05). Changes in alveolar bone thickness did not correlate with the amount of incisor retraction (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that the change in labial alveolar bone thickness was not significantly correlated to the amount of retraction.

Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the vertical alveolar bone levels and alveolar bone thickness around the maxillary and mandibular central incisors in surgically treated skeletal Class III malocclusion patients. Materials and Methods: The study sample comprised 20 Korean patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and openbite (9 male, 11 female, mean ages 24.1). Three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography images were taken at least 1 month before the orthognathic surgery, and sagittal slices chosen at the labio-lingually widest point of the maxillary and mandibular right central incisor were evaluated. Measurement of the amount of vertical alveolar bone levels and alveolar bone thickness of the labial and lingual plate at the root apex was made using the SimPlant Pro 12.0 program. Results: The mandibular incisors showed reduced vertical alveolar bone levels than the maxillary incisors, especially on the lingual side. The alveolar bone thickness was significantly greater on the lingual side in the maxillary incisors, whereas the mandibular incisors exhibited an opposite result (P &lt; .05). The percentage of vertical bone loss to root length showed a statistically significant difference between the upper labial and lower labial alveolar bone and also between the upper lingual and lower lingual alveolar bone, showing more bone loss in the lower incisors (P &lt; .001). Conclusions: The hypothesis is rejected. For the skeletal Class III patients undergoing orthognathic surgery, special care should be taken to prevent or not aggravate preexisting alveolar bone loss in the anterior teeth, especially in the mandible.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated alveolar bone loss around mandibular incisors, induced by the Herbst appliance. Methods: The sample consisted of 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean age of 15.76 ± 1.75 years), Class II, Division 1 malocclusion, treated with the Herbst appliance. CBCT scans were obtained before treatment (T0) and after Herbst treatment (T1). Vertical alveolar bone level and alveolar bone thickness of mandibular incisors were assessed. Buccal (B), lingual (L) and total (T) bone thicknesses were assessed at crestal (1), midroot (2) and apical (3) levels of mandibular incisors. Student's t-test and Wilcoxon t-test were used to compare dependent samples in parametric and nonparametric cases, respectively. Pearson's and Spearman's rank correlation analyses were performed to determine the relationship of changes in alveolar bone thickness. Results were considered at a significance level of 5%. Results: Mandibular incisors showed no statistical significance for vertical alveolar bone level. Alveolar bone thickness of mandibular incisors significantly reduced after treatment at B1, B2, B3, T1 and significantly increased at L2. The magnitude of the statistically significant changes was less than 0.2 mm. The changes in alveolar bone thickness showed no statistical significance with incisor inclination degree. Conclusions: CBCT scans showed an association between the Herbst appliance and alveolar bone loss on the buccal surface of mandibular incisors; however, without clinical significance.

Introduction: Teeth eruption is important for the development of alveolar process which increases vertical height of the face and third molar is the last tooth to erupt in the oral cavity after birth. The aim of this study was to determine relationship between skeletal malocclusion and dental anomalies in Nepalese population. Materials & Method: A sample of 170 patients with agenesis of at least one third molar was divided into four groups according to the third-molar agenesis pattern. Panoramic radiographs, lateral cephalograph and cast models were used to determine the skeletal malocclusion and associated dental anomalies. The Pearson chi-square test was used for stastical analysis. Result: Among 170 patients more than half of the patients were female with the average age being 18.15 ± 3.64 years. Majority of the patients had Class I skeletal malocclusion followed by Class II and III but on group wise comparison of patients with different skeletal patterns Class I skeletal malocclusion had highest prevalence of dental anomalies followed by Class III and Class II malocclusion. Conclusion: Prevalence of third-molar agenesis was more in skeletal class I malocclusion followed by class II and III but skeletal Class I malocclusions had more dental anomalies followed by class III and class II malocclusion.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the morphology and dimensions of mandibular symphysis (MS) in different anteroposterior jaw relationships and to investigate whether craniofacial parameters have any correlation with its shape and/or dimensions. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms of subjects with Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal relationships were traced. Several craniofacial and MS parameters were measured. MS parameters were compared between the three groups using analysis of variance and were correlated with the craniofacial parameters using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Larger angle of concavity of the chin, more inclination of the alveolar bone toward the mandibular plane, and larger MS dimensions and area (P &lt; .001) were found with a Class III skeletal relationship compared to Class I and Class II relationships. The Pearson correlation coefficient between Id-Me and AFH was r  =  0.83 and between Id-Me and LAFH it was r  =  0.81. Conclusions: The dimensions and configuration of MS in the Class III relationship were different than those in Class I and Class II relationships; the alveolar part of MS compensated for the skeletal relationship in the Class III pattern. MS dimensions were strongly correlated to anterior facial dimensions.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Pubertal growth peak is closely associated with a rapid increase in mandibular length and offers a wide range of therapeutic modifiability. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the mean ages of onset and duration of pubertal growth peak among three skeletal classes. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using lateral cephalograms of 230 subjects with growth potential (110 males, 120 females). Subjects were categorized into three classes (Class I = 81, Class II = 82, Class III = 67), according to the sagittal relationship established between the maxilla and the mandible. The cervical vertebral maturation stage was recorded by means of Baccetti's method. The mean ages at CS3 and CS4 and the CS3-CS4 age interval were compared between boys and girls and among three skeletal classes. Results: Pubertal growth peak occurred on average four months earlier in girls than boys (p = 0.050). The average duration of pubertal growth peak was 11 months in Class I, seven months in Class II and 17 months in Class III subjects. Interclass differences were highly significant (Cohen's d > 0.08). However, no significant difference was found in the timing of pubertal growth peak onset among three skeletal classes (p = 0.126 in boys, p = 0.262 in girls). Conclusions: Girls enter pubertal growth peak on average four months earlier than boys. Moreover, the duration of pubertal growth peak is on average four months shorter in Class II and six months longer in Class III subjects as compared to Class I subjects.
