The Role of Morphometric Characteristics of Anterior Maxilla in Planning the Interventions Accompanied by Orthodontic Teeth Movement – An Overview

Abstract The anterior maxilla or premaxilla is part of the upper jaw and most significant content this region, from aspect orthodontic therapy, are incisor teeth. frequency complications during movement incisors refers to a more detailed evaluation anatomical structures premaxilla. aim study was investigate morphological morphometric characteristics by cone beam computed tomography, which could be interest for planning teeth movement. By reviewing available literature, we compared values alveolar bone height, distance between crest enamel – cement boundary, total width, thickness buccal, palatal plate, nasopalatine canal, accessory canals maxilla. results our show changes in labial aspects height interventions. Different width correlation with gender, age, type tooth Distance canal maxillary central estimated at value 4 6 mm, below recommended maximum incisal retraction Proffit. Research variations shape, length, diameter indicates individual varieties detected on tomography. Other measures an insignificant According contradictory articles, it required achieve approach interventions area
