Evaluation of Anterior Alveolus Morphology in Different Facial Growth Patterns
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The study was aimed to evaluate the anterior alveolar anatomy variation in different growth patterns. Materials and Methods: The cross sectional study included hundred pretreatment lateral cephalograms. The lateral cephalograms were sorted into class I, class II and class III groups and each group was again divided into low, average and high angle case. Each lateral cephalogram was traced for the upper anterior alveolar width (UAAW), Upper posterior alveolar width (UPAW), Lower anterior alveolar width (LAAW), lower posterior alveolar width (LPAW), upper alveolar height (UAH) and lower alveolar height (LAH). The collected data was statistically analyzed for the difference between the different groups using ANOVA. Results: Significant difference was noted for the lower posterior alveolar bone thickness for the class I and class II group. Highly significant difference was noted between the average and the low mandibular divergence groups for the measurements like UAH and UPAW. Significant difference was seen in between the low and average mandibular divergence group for the measurements UAH and UPAW. Between average and high mandibular divergence group the highly significant difference was noted for LAH. Conclusion: Both the sagittal and the vertical skeletal relationship significantly effects the anterior alveolar anatomy. Clinician needs to be aware of these differences in order to provide the best possible treatment plan and the prognosis without the iatrogenic damage to the teeth and the alveolar bone.
