Upper incisor intrusion: an anatomical analysis via CBCT.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To verify, via CBCT, the existence of a definable distance for bodily intrusion of maxillary incisors, and its correlation to age, sex and/or facial biotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of sagittal sections obtained from 79 CBCTs of 220 maxillary incisors correctly aligned on their osseous base (maxillary plane/long axis between 105° and 115°). The same sagittal sections were then used to measure the distance between the root apex and upper internal cortical bone of the jaw at each incisor, along the extension of the long axis. The patient sample was divided into three distinct subgroups based on the degree of divergence; it was also subdivided by gender and by age. RESULTS The mean distances between the apex and upper internal cortical bone were higher than 5mm for the four maxillary incisors. Statistically significant differences were evidenced between the two age groups in the means measured for the right lateral incisor, left central and lateral incisor. The mean of the distance measured for the right lateral incisor in the hyperdivergent patients was significantly greater with respect to that of the hypodivergent patients. CONCLUSION The CBCT data obtained permitted identification of the alveolar anatomy and quantification of the intrusion possible. In the older age group, potential intrusion was significantly greater for teeth 12, 21 and 22. Furthermore, a directly proportional relationship between the measurements pertaining to each tooth in a single patient was noted.

Aberrations Causing Neurovascular Damage in the Anterior Maxilla during Dental Implant Placement
When dental implants are being considered for placement in the maxillary central incisor region, proximity to the nasopalatine canal and its contents needs to be accounted for. The morphology of the canal changes with age. The availability of CBCT has allowed the in-depth analysis of this important variable anatomy. However, an associated important anatomical structure can be easily overlooked:...

Q1. In the lingual system, the force to the center of resistance of a tooth is different from that in the labial system. In the present case, the upper incisors tipped lingually after intrusion, as shown in the cepha lometric superimpositions. I think that the intrusive force against the upper posterior teeth was applied lingually to the center of resistance, and, therefore, the upper posterio...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital radiography and tooth sectioning in evaluating root canal morphology of mandibular incisors in an in vitro setting. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 76 samples were imaged using CBCT, and digital radiography in straight and angled views. The samples were then sectioned at different ...

AIM The purpose of this report is to present a case of endodontic management of a dilacerated maxillary central incisor fused to supernumerary tooth unusually appearing as a labial tubercle using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic aid. BACKGROUND Anterior teeth are commonly encountered with aberrant anatomical variations in the crown, number of roots, and root canals. Fusion...
