Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In the process of tooth movement, alveolar bone remodeling process is not only influenced by orthodontic force approach and balance between lip and tongue, but also limited by alveolar bone morphology.

OBJECTIVE: To preliminarily study the morphological characteristics of the incisive alveolar bone in adolescent with skeletal class II malocclusion of different vertical facial skeletal types.
METHODS: Sixty patients with class II malocclusion, aged 11-16 years, were divided into three groups: (1) high-angle group: the angle between the anterior skull base and mandibular plane was > 40°, and the angle between the orbitomeatal plane and mandibular plane angle was > 32°. (2) Low-angle group: the angle between the anterior skull base and mandibular plane was < 29°, and the angle between the orbitomeatal plane and mandibular plane angle was < 22°. (3) Average angle group: the angle between the anterior skull base and mandibular plane was ≥ 29°, ≤ 40°, and the angle between the orbitomeatal plane and mandibular plane angle was ≥ 22°, ≤ 32°. Each group included 20 subjects. Cephalometric films were taken and measured to analyze the morphological characteristics of the incisive alveolar bone with SPSS 17.0.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The thickness of the apical alveolar: the UBP, LBP value and the total thickness of the apical alveolar were significantly different between the three groups (P < 0.05). The ULP and LLP values were significant different between the high-angle and low-angle groups (P < 0.05). (2) The alveolar height: the UBH, ULH, LBH, and LLH values showed significant differences among the three groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the thickness of the labial alveolar bone of the incisor is obviously thinner in the high-angle malocclusion than others, indicating it is very important to prevent the fenestration and bone cracking. The labial alveolar bone of the low-angle malocclusion is thicker, and therefore, the adduction range of the anterior teeth is wider.
