Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Extraction is commonly used for class II malocclusion to achieve normal cover and improve facial feature and lateral appearance, and the treatment efficacy is directly related to adduction degree of anterior teeth and alveolar bone reconstruction. 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the alveolar bone change of the maxillary anterior region after retraction in adult patients with class II1 malocclusion.
METHODS: Thirty adult patients with class II1 malocclusion were selected. After aligned and replaced with stainless steel square wire for 1 month (T0 stage), the upper anterior teeth were retracted with type II traction for 1 month (T1 stage). Cone-beam CT was made before and at T0 and T1 stages. The upper anterior teeth volume, alveolar bone thickness and height were measured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) After retraction, the crown of the upper middle incisor was moved lager than root in tongue direction. (2) The thickness of the alveolar bone significantly increased in the labial region except the apical region (P < 0.05), and the apical area changed inversely. (3) Both labial and palatal alveolar ridge decreased, and difference on the palatal side was significant (P < 0.05). (4) In summary, for adult patients with class II1, a tipping movement occurred in the process of anterior retraction. During retraction, the alveolar bone changes are not consistent with the movement of the teeth, and active bone remodeling occurred on both labial and palatal sides, but overall, bone resorption is greater than bone hyperplasia.
