Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of maxillary incisor intrusion and retraction with controlled tipping (CT) versus bodily movement (BM) in extraction cases on alveolar bone height and thickness, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Correlations between changes in alveolar dimensions and crown or root retraction, incisor inclination, and intrusion were also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all, 144 incisors of 36 women were retrospectively evaluated. All patients were treated with anterior intrusion and retraction with either controlled tipping (CT) (group 1) or bodily movement (BM) (group 2). CBCT scans were taken before and after retraction and intrusion and measurements of alveolar bone height and thickness at the level of mid-root and root apex were measured. The prevalence of dehiscence was also calculated. RESULTS Labial bone thickness (BT) increased at the level of the root apex with increased total BT in the CT group (p < 0.05). The BM group showed decreased palatal BT. Significant vertical bone loss with an increased incidence of dehiscences occurred on the palatal side in both groups. Changes in palatal bone area was negatively correlated with the amount of root apex retraction, while the total BT at the level of root apex was positively correlated with amount of intrusion. CONCLUSIONS Bodily retraction can result in reduced palatal bone dimensions and an increase risk of iatrogenic sequelae following anterior retraction in extraction cases. Vertical bone loss and an increased incidence of dehiscences is to be expected following anterior retraction. Careful attention must be paid to the bone boundary conditions to avoid moving the incisors out of the alveolar housing.

Abstract
Objective To assess the alveolar bone changes and gingival recession following Herbst appliance therapy. Materials and methods Electronic databases such as PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched until August 2022. Hand-searching of major orthodontic journals was performed to identify all peer-reviewed articles potentially relevant to the review. The quality of the selected studies was ranked using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for nonrandomized trials-Risk of Bias In Nonrandomized Studies (ROBINS) 1. Results Five relevant articles (all nonrandomized studies) were considered for qualitative analysis. The risk of bias was low for four studies and moderate for one. The reduction in the vertical alveolar bone height was 0.13 ± 0.07 mm, with the Herbst appliance. The mean difference in the loss of buccal cortical thickness between the Herbst appliance and untreated control group was 0.22 mm [95% confidence interval (CI) of -0.62-0.18]. Subsequent to Herbst appliance therapy, in the mandibular anterior region 0.1 ± 0.5 mm of gingival recession was observed. Conclusion Herbst appliance treatment produces a negligible reduction in the buccal cortical thickness, vertical alveolar bone height, and gingival recession. Clinical significance Though the changes produced by the Herbst appliance were minimal, they are clinically important considering the young age of the patients warranting periodic periodontal assessment.

Long-term bone remodeling of maxillary anterior teeth with post-treatment alveolar bone defect in adult patients with maxillary protrusion: a prospective follow-up study. Prog Orthod 2023; 24:36. [PMID: 37926789 PMCID: PMC10625924 DOI: 10.1186/s40510-023-00489-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar bone defects, particularly palatal bone dehiscence (PBD) and labial bone fenestration (LBF), occur frequently as a result of retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth. The study aims to explore the long-term bone remodeling of maxillary anterior teeth in adult patients with post-orthodontic treatment PBD and LBF. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study includes 24 adult patients with maxillary protrusion (8 males, 16 females) who were treated with extraction of four first premolars and had alveolar bone defects (PBD or LBF) in maxillary anterior teeth following orthodontic treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography imaging measurements were obtained before (T1), after (T2) orthodontic treatment, and after at least 1-year removable thermoplastic retainer retention (T3). The maxillary anterior teeth with PBD or LBF at T2 were divided into the PBD or LBF groups, respectively. The labial and palatal alveolar bone height (ABH), alveolar bone thickness (ABT), and movement of maxillary anterior teeth were measured during retraction (T2-T1) and retention (T3-T2) periods. RESULTS The incidence of PBD and LBF in maxillary anterior teeth significantly increased after orthodontic treatment and decreased during the retention period. In the PBD group, the palatal ABH of all maxillary anterior teeth significantly increased from T1 to T2 but decreased from T2 to T3. The ABT of the maxillary central incisor and canine significantly increased on the palatal side and decreased on the labial side during the retention period. In the LBF group, the labial ABT of the maxillary central incisor at the apical level showed a significant decrease from T1 to T2, followed by an increase from T2 to T3. In both groups, the maxillary central incisor showed significant labial movement, with a relative intrusion during the retention period. CONCLUSION For adult patients with maxillary protrusion, the alveolar bone defect of maxillary anterior teeth caused by orthodontic retraction significantly improved during the retention period, indicating good long-term bone remodeling. Our findings suggest that a combination of spontaneous reorientation of maxillary anterior teeth and bone remodeling contributed to alveolar bone covering in these patients.

Orthod Craniofac Res 2023; 26:618-631. [PMID: 36975738 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the morphometric changes in the anterior alveolar bone of both the maxilla and mandible after space closure and retention for 18-36 mo in adults and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two subjects with 4 first premolars extracted followed by retracting anterior teeth were included and divided into two age groups: adult group (4 males, 17 females, mean age: 23.67 ± 5.29 y, treatment duration: 27.95 mo, retention duration: 26.96 mo, ANB: 4.8 ± 2.1, U1-L1: 117.2 ± 9.2, U1-PP: 120.2 ± 7.2, L1-MP: 99.2 ± 5.3) and adolescent group (6 males, 15 females, mean age: 11.52 ± 1.21 y, treatment duration: 26.18 mo, retention duration: 25.79 mo, ANB: 5.2 ± 2.1, U1-L1: 116.0 ± 8.6, U1-PP: 119.8 ± 4.9, L1-MP: 99.7 ± 4.9). Alveolar bone height and thickness of anterior teeth in both groups were measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging performed at the pretreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2) and retention phases (T3). One-way repeated-measure ANOVAs were performed to evaluate the alveolar bone changes. Voxel-based superimpositions were performed to measure the amount of tooth movement. RESULTS After orthodontic treatment, the lingual bone height and thickness of both arches and the labial bone height of the mandible decreased significantly in both age groups (P < .05). Most of the labial bone height and thickness of the maxilla in both groups remained unchanged (P > .05). After retention, the lingual bone height and thickness increased significantly in both age groups (P < .05). The amounts of increased height ranged from 1.08 to 1.64 mm in adults and from 0.78 to 1.21 mm in adolescents, and the amounts of increased thickness ranged from 0.23 mm to 0.62 mm in adults and from 0.16 mm to 0.36 mm in adolescents. Obvious movements of the anterior teeth during retention were not found (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Although lingual alveolar bone loss occurred in adolescents and adults during orthodontic treatment, continuous remodelling occurred in the later retention phase, which provides a reference for clinical treatment planning of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate three-dimensional (3D) morphologic changes in the alveolar bone around the maxillary central incisors of patients who underwent premolar extraction and subsequent anterior tooth retraction using temporary anchorage devices (TADs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects consisted of 16 patients with bimaxillary protrusion. The maxillary anterior teeth were retracted using sliding or loop mechanics and TADs for anchorage reinforcement. Cephalograms and computed tomography scans taken pretreatment and posttreatment were registered with respect to the palatal structures. The movement of the maxillary central incisors and morphologic changes in the anterior alveolar bone were evaluated quantitatively. RESULTS Displacement in the palatal direction was observed in the alveolar bone around the incisors and the interdental septum. The displacement and bone remodeling/tooth movement ratio were larger on the labial side than the palatal side, and decreased progressively from the crest to apex level. The bone thickness was significantly increased on the labial side and decreased on the palatal side. CONCLUSIONS Regional differences exist in morphologic changes of the alveolar bone during anterior tooth retraction using TADs. Attention should be paid to the crest region of the palatal alveolar bone because of its small original thickness and low remodeling activity.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate root parallelism and the dehiscence or fenestrations of virtual teeth setup using roots isolated from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Sixteen patients undergoing non-extraction orthodontic treatment with molar distalization were selected. Composite teeth were created by merging CBCT-isolated roots with intraoral scan-derived crowns. Three setups were performed sequentially: crown setup considering only the crowns, root setup-1 considering root alignment, and root setup-2 considering the roots and surrounding alveolar bone. We evaluated the parallelism and exposure of the roots and compared the American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS) scores using three-dimensionally printed models among the setups. The mean angulation differences between adjacent teeth in root setups-1 and -2 were significantly smaller than in the crown setup, except for some posterior teeth (p < 0.05). The amount of root exposure was significantly smaller in root setup-2 compared to crown setup and root setup-1 except when the mean exposure was less than 0.6 mm (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in ABO-OGS scores among the setups. Thus, virtual setup considering the roots and alveolar bone can improve root parallelism and reduce the risk of root exposure without compromising occlusion quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess morphological changes of the upper anterior alveolus after retraction of a maxillary incisor by applying three-dimensional (3D) superimposition of pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. METHODS The study group was comprised of 28 patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion who underwent incisor retraction. CBCT data were acquired before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment. Labial and palatal alveolar thickness were assessed at the crestal, midroot and apical levels of the retracted incisors. Following three-dimensional (3D) cranial base superimposition, we performed surface modeling and inner remodeling of the labial and palatal alveolar cortex of the maxillary incisors. Paired t-tests were used to compare T0 and T1 bone thickness and volume measurements. Comparisons between labial and palatal surface modeling, inner remodeling and outer surface modeling were performed with paired t-tests in SPSS 20.0 version. RESULTS We observed controlled tipping retraction of the upper incisor. After treatment, the alveolar thickness on the labial sides increased and the palatal alveolar thickness decreased. The labial cortex showed a wider range of modeling area with a larger bending height and a smaller bending angle than the palatal side. The extent of inner remodeling was more prominent than the outer surface on both the labial and palatal sides. CONCLUSIONS Adaptive alveolar surface modeling occurred in response to incisor tipping retraction on both the lingual and labial sides although these changes occurred in an uncoordinated manner. Tipping retraction of the maxillary incisors led to a reduction in alveolar volume.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate labial and palatal cortical bone remodeling (BR) characteristics and related aspects of maxillary incisors after retraction, as these aspects are still controversial among orthodontists. METHODS Cortical BR and incisor movement of 44 patients (aged 26.18 ± 4.71 years) who underwent maxillary first premolar extraction and incisor retraction were analyzed using superimposed cone-beam computed tomography images. Labial BR/tooth movement (BT) ratios at the crestal, midroot (S2), and apical (S3) levels were compared using the Friedman test and pairwise comparisons. Multivariate linear regressions were used to explore the relationships between the labial BT ratio and several factors, including age, ANB angle, mandibular plane angle, and incisor movement patterns. According to the type of palatal cortical BR observed, the patients were divided into 3 groups: type I (no BR without root penetration of the original palatal border [RPB]), type II (BR with RPB), and type III (no BR with RPB). Student's t test was used to compare the type II and III groups. RESULTS The mean labial BT ratios at all levels were <1.00 (0.68-0.89). This value at the S3 level was significantly smaller than that at the crestal and S2 levels (P <0.01). Multivariate linear regression indicated that the tooth movement pattern negatively correlates with the BT ratio at S2 and S3 levels (P <0.01). Type I was noted in 40.9% of the patients, and similar proportions exhibited type II (29.5%, 25.0%) or type III remodeling (29.5%, 34.1%). The retraction distance of the incisors in type III patients was significantly larger than in type II patients (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS The amount of cortical BR secondary to maxillary incisor retraction is less than the tooth movement. Bodily retraction may lead to lower labial BT ratios at the S3 and S2 levels. Roots penetrating the original border of the cortical plate are necessary for palatal cortical BR initiation.

Abstract
Background Safe orthodontic tooth movement should be performed within the alveolar bone. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphology of the alveolar bone of incisors. Materials and methods This retrospective study included pretreatment cone beam computed tomography of 120 patients with malocclusion. Patients were divided into 4 groups (Class I, Class II division 1, Class II division 2 and Class III) according to the subspinale-nasion-supramental (ANB) angle and occlusal relationship. The sagittal root positions, anterior and posterior root-cortical bone angles (AR-CA and PR-CA), root-crown ratios (RCR) and alveolar bone thickness were evaluated. Results The sagittal root positions were mainly positioned against the labial cortical plate in the maxillary incisors of the Class II division 2 group and engaged by both the labial and palatal cortical plates in the mandibular incisors of the Class III group. The AR-CA was lower than that in the other groups (P < 0.01) in the maxillary incisors of the Class II division 2 group, and the AR-CA and PR-CA were lower than those in the other groups (P < 0.01) in the mandibular incisors of the Class III group. The alveolar thickness showed no significant difference between the Class II division 1 group and the Class I group (P > 0.05), the middle and lower anterior alveolar thickness (LAAT and MAAT) were lower than those in other groups (P < 0.01) in the maxillary incisors of the Class II division 2 group, and the alveolar thickness at the measurement sites of the middle and lower line were lower than those in other groups (P < 0.01) in the mandibular incisors of the Class III group. The RCR had a moderate positive correlation with the LAAT. Conclusion Based on several limitations, this study found that maxillary incisor roots were at risk of penetrating the alveolar bone of Class II division 2 patients, and mandibular incisors may have a relatively small range of safe movement on both the labial and lingual sides of Class III patients during orthodontic treatment.

INTRODUCTION This retrospective study aimed to investigate the alveolar bone changes around mandibular incisors in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with surgery-first orthognathic approach (SFA) and conventional orthognathic surgery (COS) using cone-beam computed tomography scans. METHODS Sixty-four patients were divided into 2 groups according to the inclusion of presurgical orthodontic treatment; the SFA group included 32 patients treated without presurgical orthodontic treatment, and the COS group included 32 patients treated with presurgical orthodontic treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were obtained before treatment, after presurgical orthodontic treatment, and after treatment for the COS group and were obtained before and after treatment for the SFA group. The measurements of vertical alveolar bone height and horizontal bone thickness at 4 levels and the alveolar bone area surrounding the mandibular incisors were compared according to the treatment progress and groups. RESULTS The vertical bone levels and horizontal bone thickness of the labial and lingual sides and the area of the alveolar bone around the mandibular incisors were reduced after treatment in both SFA and COS groups. Vertical bone loss was more prominent than horizontal bone loss after treatment in both groups, and alveolar bone loss was greater on the lingual side than on the labial side. There were no significant differences in alveolar bone changes around the mandibular incisor between the SFA and COS groups. However, the alveolar bone was reduced more in the COS group than in the SFA group. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that SFA and COS may trigger degeneration of the alveolar bone around the mandibular incisors after treatment in patients with mandibular prognathism. Careful consideration is needed to avoid iatrogenic degeneration of the periodontal support around the incisors, particularly during presurgical orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Molar distalization has been a validated method to correct dental sagittal relationships and create space to relieve mild to moderate crowding. In the current case report, an adult female patient had a mild skeletal Class III relationship and dental Class III molar relationship. Four premolars and one lower incisor were extracted during the previous two rounds of orthodontic treatments, and the maxillary anterior teeth were left with severe proclination and root resorption. Limited by the available teeth, extraction was not an option for her. Thus, molar distalization with TADs was the best option used in the treatment to address her chief complaint. In addition, a proper bite opening was performed to eliminate occlusion trauma. Utilizing the mid-palatal TADs, the maxillary central incisors were retracted 7.9 mm and retroclined 33 degrees, and the molar distalization was achieved as much as 8 mm. The cross-section slices of CBCT images confirmed the proper retraction of maxillary incisors and well-positioned roots in the alveolar bone. Moreover, the root resorption was not worsened from the treatment. Clinically, the maxillary anterior teeth were preserved esthetically and functionally. This case report illustrates that with proper diagnosis and treatment mechanics, significant tooth movement can be achieved even on extremely proclined maxillary incisors with severe root resorption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate alveolar bone remodeling following incisor retraction treatment with microimplants and to examine the relationship between crown/root distal movement and thickness/height changes of the alveolus. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 patients (mean age, 19.29 ± 4.64 years) with bialveolar protrusion treated by incisor retraction with microimplants were included. The distances of the crown and root tip movements as well as the thickness (alveolar bone thickness [ABT]; labial, lingual, and total) and vertical level (vertical bone level [VBL]; labial and lingual) of the alveolar bone were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography images obtained before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2). All T1 and T2 variables were compared, and further comparisons of alveolar bone changes were conducted between the two groups based on the distance of the crown (low-crown-movement and high-crown-movement groups) and root movements (low-root-movement and high-root-movement groups). To determine the correlation of the crown or root movement with the variables of alveolar bone changes, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. RESULTS Significant differences were found in all VBL and ABT variables after treatment in both jaws but not in total ABT. Based on the crown and root movements, alveolar bone change significantly differed between the root-movement groups, whereas there was no significant difference between the crown-movement groups. In addition, root movement showed significant correlations with the variables. CONCLUSIONS Remarkable changes in the height and thickness of alveolar bone were found after microimplant-aided incisor retraction treatment in all groups except for total ABT. Root movement was significantly correlated with the alveolar bone changes.

Abstract
Objective To quantitatively study the effect of the labial inclination of the mandibular central incisors on the surrounding cortical and cancellous-bone morphology among patients with low-angle, skeletal class III malocclusion, by using cone-beam computed-tomography (CBCT) imaging. Materials and methods The CBCT images of 60 patients with low-angle, skeletal class III malocclusion were divided into lingual-inclination, upright, and labial-inclination groups. The height of the alveolar bone and the thickness and area of the cortical, cancellous, and total alveolar bone were measured separately on each side of the mandibular central incisors. Results The thickness of the labial cortical bone from 6 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the root apex; the thickness of the labial cancellous bone at the root apex; the total thickness of the alveolar bone at the root apex; the area of labial cortical bone; the total area of labial alveolar bone; and the height of the labial alveolar bone were highest in the labial-inclination group (all P<0.05). All these variables were positively correlated with the labial inclination of the mandibular central incisors (all P<0.05). There were no statistical differences between the groups for any of the measurements on the lingual side of the teeth (P>0.05). Conclusion The morphology of the alveolar bone on the labial but not the lingual side of the mandibular central incisors was statistically significantly correlated with the labial inclination of those teeth in patients with low-angle, skeletal class III malocclusion.

Abstract
Background No study has evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging in detecting bone defects in orthodontic patients with Class I malocclusions. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of CBCT in detecting dehiscences and fenestrations before orthodontic treatment compared to the gold standard i.e., the actual clinical detection of bone defects on surgical exposure. Methods A validation study was undertaken at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Damascus between 29 August 2018 and 1 November 2020. The sample included 16 patients who had Class I malocclusion with moderate crowding on the lower anterior teeth. Results The proportion of dehiscence diagnosed on CBCT images was approximately two-and-a-half times greater than that found on direct examination i.e., 42.7% versus 17.7%, respectively. The proportion of fenestrations was almost three times greater when diagnosed on CBCT images compared to the gold standard i.e., 39.5% versus 13.5%, respectively. The sensitivity of CBCT imaging in detecting dehiscence and fenestration was 100%. The specificity of CBCT imaging ranged from 45.5% to 86.7% and from 50% to 86.7% for dehiscence and fenestration detection, respectively. Also, the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT imaging ranged from 44% to 87.5% and from 56% to 87.5% for dehiscence and fenestration detection, respectively. Conclusions The proportion of dehiscence diagnosed on CBCT images was approximately two-and-a-half times greater than that found on direct examination, and the proportion of fenestrations was almost three times greater when diagnosed on CBCT images compared to the gold standard. The CBCT overestimates the dimensions of the linear measurements compared to those measured by the gold standard.

Three-Dimensional Digital Image Analysis of Skeletal and Soft Tissue Points A and B after Orthodontic Treatment with Premolar Extraction in Bimaxillary Protrusive Patients. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11030381. [PMID: 35336755 PMCID: PMC8945223 DOI: 10.3390/biology11030381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Aim. To investigate the effect of changes in incisor tip, apex movement, and inclination on skeletal points A and B and characterize changes in skeletal points A and B to the soft tissue points A and B after incisor retraction in Angle Class I bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. Methods. Twenty-two patients with Angle Class I bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion treated with four first premolar extractions were included in this study. The displacement of skeletal and soft tissue points A and B was measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using a three-dimensional coordinate system. The movement of the upper and lower incisors was also measured using CBCT-synthesized lateral cephalograms. Results. Changes in the incisal tip, apex, and inclination after retraction did not significantly affect the position of points A and B in any direction (x, y, z). Linear regression analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between skeletal point A and soft tissue point A on the anteroposterior axis (z). Skeletal point A moved forward by 0.07 mm, and soft tissue point A moved forward by 0.38 mm, establishing a ratio of 0.18: 1 (r = 0.554, p < 0.01). Conclusion. The positional complexion of the skeletal points A and B was not directly influenced by changes in the incisor tip, apex, and inclination. Although the results suggest that soft tissue point A follows the anteroposterior position of skeletal point A, its clinical significance is suspected. Thus, hard and soft tissue analysis should be considered in treatment planning.

The Role of Morphometric Characteristics of Anterior Maxilla in Planning the Interventions Accompanied by Orthodontic Teeth Movement – An Overview. SERBIAN JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL RESEARCH 2022.

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

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Applying root torque using conventional methods (rectangular wire) has side effects such as inverse and destructive forces, undesirable torque on adjacent teeth, heavy forces that are limited in range and duration, and needing too many sessions. We introduce a new method (a horizontal box loop [HBL]) that is designed to reduce many of these side effects; we tested its efficiency and side effects using finite element analysis. METHODS An HBL was created from a 0.018-in round stainless steel archwire, in the form of an equilateral triangle of 7 mm sides, for the permanent maxillary left central incisor. As a control, a SS rectangular wire (19 × 25-in) was used. First, a pilot simulation was performed to standardize the torque in both models as 31.099 N mm. The extent of twisting by the rectangular wire, of which the same amount of moment would be applied, was estimated at 28.282°. The main study evaluated the effects of the 31.099 N.mm moments applied by both models to the left central incisor on stresses, dental movements (buccolingually, mesiodistally, and extrusive or intrusive), and intercanine or intermolar widths. RESULTS Under standardized conditions, the HBL causes a greater palatal root torque of the central incisor than the rectangular wire. The HBL does not apply reverse root torque on adjacent teeth, whereas the rectangular wire causes reverse root torque in neighboring teeth. The HBL also causes less extrusion and expansion in the molar area than does the rectangular wire. The HBL increases intercanine width, whereas the rectangular wire might not change it. CONCLUSIONS HBL of round wire seems an appropriate appliance and hence its clinical assessment is recommended.

Abstract
Backgroud To analyze the morphological changes of the anterior alveolar bone after the retraction of incisors in premolar extraction cases and the relationship between incisor retraction and remodeling of the alveolar base represented by points A and B displacements. Methods Pre- (T0) and post-treatment (T1) lateral cephalograms of 308 subjects in the maxilla and 154 subjects in the mandible who underwent the orthodontic treatment with extraction of 2 premolars in upper or lower arches were included. Alveolar bone width and height in both the maxillary and mandible incisor area were measured at T0 and T1 respectively. By superimposing the T0 and T1 cephalometric tracings, changes of points A and B, and the movement of the incisors were also measured. Then the correlation between incisor movement and the displacements of points A and B was analyzed. Results The alveolar bone width (ABW) showed a significant decrease in both maxilla and mandible (P < 0.001) except the labial side of the mandible (P > 0.05). The alveolar bone height (ABH) showed a significant increase in the labial side of maxilla and a significant decrease in the lingual side of maxilla and mandible. A strong positive correlation was verified between incisor movement and position changes of points A and B in both horizontal and vertical directions. Conclusions Anterior alveolar bone width and height generally decreased after orthodontic treatment. Incisor retraction led to significant position changes of points A and B. The decrease of anterior alveolar bone due to significant incisor retraction should be taken into account in treatment planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of integrated models (IMs) constructed by pretreatment cone-beam computed tomography (pre-CBCT) in diagnosing alveolar defects after treatment with clear aligners. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pre-CBCT and posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 69 patients who completed nonextraction treatment with clear aligners were collected. The IMs comprised anterior teeth in predicted positions and alveolar bone from pre-CBCT scans. The accuracy of the IMs for identifying dehiscences or fenestrations was evaluated by comparing the means of the defect volumes, absolute mean differences, and Pearson correlation coefficients with those measured from post-CBCT scans. Defect prediction accuracy was assessed by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values. Factors possibly affecting changes in mandibular alveolar defects were analyzed using a mixed linear model. RESULTS The IM measurements showed mean deviations of 2.82 ± 9.99 mm3 for fenestrations and 3.67 ± 9.93 mm3 for dehiscences. The absolute mean differences were 4.50 ± 9.35 mm3 for fenestrations and 5.17 ± 9.24 mm3 for dehiscences. The specificities of the IMs were higher than 0.8, whereas the sensitivities were both lower (fenestration = 0.41; dehiscence = 0.53). The positive predictive values were unacceptable (fenestration = 0.52; dehiscence = 0.62), and the overall reliability was low (<0.80). Molar distalization and proclination were positively correlated with significant increases in alveolar defects at the mandibular incisors after treatment. CONCLUSIONS Alveolar defects after clear aligner treatment cannot be simulated accurately by IMs constructed from pre-CBCT. Caution should be taken in the treatment of crowding with proclination and molar distalization for the safety of alveolar bone at the mandibular incisors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between incisor alveolar bone thickness (IABT) and dentofacial characteristics or age in adult female patients with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion (BDP). Evaluating the contribution of these characteristics may help to predict the IABT differences in this patient population. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A retrospective study whose sample comprised 80 pretreatment adult female patients with BDP (mean age 24.6 years). MATERIALS AND METHODS The IABT of the bimaxillary central incisors was measured by cone-beam computed tomography. Among the types of IABT, the apical trabecular bone thickness was measured with a quantitative method. The sagittal skeletal pattern, facial divergence, the incisor inclination angle, and mandibular plane angulation were determined by cephalometric analysis. A backward linear multiple regression was performed to analyse the associations between IABT and these characteristics. RESULTS Three dentofacial traits and age were associated with IABT. Patients with increased age and facial divergence tended to have a thinner mandibular incisor bone support, while increased root length was associated with a thicker mandibular incisor apical bone thickness. Increased U1-SN and facial divergence may lead to a thinner maxillary incisor palatal bone, while increased U1-SN resulted in a thicker maxillary incisor labial bone. CONCLUSIONS The bony support of the incisors is associated with age and dentofacial traits. Increasing age and facial divergence are considered risk factors for alveolar defects in female patients with BDP. In contrast, increased root length is associated with a thicker mandibular incisor apical bone support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The extent to which the modelling behaviour of the anterior alveolus limits tooth movement remains unclear. Will the labial and lingual cortical plates model as incisors retract, or will they remain unchanged, therefore limiting the extent of possible tooth movement? SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 29 bimaxillary protrusive patients of South Korean descent were examined. Treatment consisted of two premolar extractions in one or both arches with en masse retraction of the incisors using miniscrew anchorage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pre- and post-treatment measurements of both tooth and cortical plate position were made at various increments along the length of the root and then compared using paired t tests. RESULTS Despite the use of miniscrew anchorage, the incisors were retracted by controlled tipping. The labial cortical plates in both arches modelled to follow tooth movement. Following retraction of the incisors in the maxilla, the incisor root approached the lingual cortical plate, which remained unchanged. In the mandible, the lingual cortical plate position was unchanged except at the level closest to the cementoenamel junction. CONCLUSIONS The maxillary and mandibular lingual cortical plates did not model to follow the incisor movement while the labial cortical plates did. These findings suggest that lingual cortical plates may act as limitations to planned orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate alveolar bone change in relation to root position change after maxillary incisor retraction via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using stable skeletal structures as a reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 17 subjects (age 24.7 ± 4.4 years) who required retraction of the maxillary incisors were included. Labial and palatal alveolar bone changes and root change were assessed from preretraction and 3 months postretraction CBCT images. The reference planes were based on stable skeletal structures. The Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to compare changes within and between groups, as appropriate. Spearman rank correlations were used to identify the parameters that correlated with alveolar bone change. The significance level was set at .05. RESULTS The labial alveolar bone change after maxillary incisor retraction was statistically significant (P < .05), and the bone remodeling/tooth movement (B/T) ratio was 1:1. However, the palatal bone remained unchanged (P > .05). The change in inclination was significantly related to labial alveolar bone change. CONCLUSIONS Using stable skeletal structures as a reference, the change in labial alveolar bone followed tooth movement in an almost 1:1 B/T ratio. Palatal alveolar bone did not remodel following maxillary incisor retraction. The change in inclination was associated with alveolar bone change.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthodontic treatment is thought as a contributory factor in the development of recession. The objective of this study was to determine the factors associated with a gingival recession in patients who underwent orthodontic mechano-therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of 72 post-orthodontic cases done at the dental clinics of Aga Khan University hospital that were treated from 2009 to 2017. After evaluating dental records patients were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of gingival recession on posttreatment photographs. Patients in each group were further assessed on the following factors: (1) Lower incisor inclination (IMPA). (2) Tissue thickness on the facio-lingual dimension. (3) Alveolar bone height. (4) Alveolar bone thickness. RESULTS The mean age of patients at the start of treatment was 16.56±5.66years. Gingival recession was found in 40.3% of our patients while 59.7% of patients had no recession found after orthodontic treatment. Univariable logistic regression was applied for factors associated with a gingival recession following orthodontic treatment which showed that the odds ratio of gingival recession in thin gingival biotype are 14.4 times more than in thick gingival biotype. Multivariable regression analysis showed that the cases had 10.2 times more recession in thin biotype than those in the thick gingival biotype while adjusting for pre- and posttreatment alveolar heights following orthodontic treatment and with a confidence interval [95% CI=2.69 to 38.40]. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded from this study that 40% of patients developed gingival recession in one or more teeth during orthodontic treatment. Among different factors pre-treatment, gingival biotype of patients and male gender were the factors that were more associated with the development of gingival recession.

Head Face Med 2020; 16:29.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal health is of great concern for periodontists and orthodontists in the inter-disciplinary management of patients with bimaxillary protrusion. The aim of present study is to investigate changes in the alveolar bone in the maxillary incisor region and to explore its relationship with displacement of root apex as well as changes in the inclination of maxillary incisors during incisor retraction. METHODS Samples in this retrospective study consisted of 38 patients with bimaxillary protrusion. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images was taken before(T0) and after (T1) treatment. Alveolar bone thickness (ABT), height (ABH) and area (ABA) were utilized to evaluate changes in the alveolar bone, while incisor inclination and apex displacement were used to assess changes in the position of maxillary central and lateral incisors. Correlations between alveolar bone remodeling and apex displacement as well as changes in the inclination were investigated. RESULTS The labial ABT of central and lateral incisors at the mid-root third was increased. In contrast, the palatal ABT at crestal, mid-root and apical third level were consistently decreased. ABH was not altered on the labial side, while significantly decreased on the palatal side. ABA was not significantly increased on the labial side, but significantly decreased on the palatal side, leading to a significantly reduced total ABA. Orthodontic treatment significantly reduced inclination of upper incisors. Changes in the amount (T1-T0) of ABA was remarkably correlated with apex displacement and changes of inclination (T1-T0); in addition, using the multivariate linear regression analysis, changes of ABA on the palatal side (T1-T0) can be described by following equation: Changes of palatal ABA (T1-T0) = - 3.258- 0.139× changes of inclination (T1-T0) + 2.533 × apex displacement (T1-T0). CONCLUSIONS Retraction of incisors in bimaxillary protrusion patients may compromise periodontal bone support on the palatal side. An equation that incorporated the displacement of root apex and change in the incisor inclination may enable periodontist-orthodontist interdisciplinary coordination in assessing treatment risks and developing an individualized treatment plan for adult patients with bimaxillary protrusion. Moreover, the equation in predicating area of alveolar bone may reduce the risks of placing the teeth out of the bone boundary during 3D digital setups.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in the palatal alveolar bone thickness and find the factors related to the resorption of the palatal alveolar bone caused by tooth movement after the maxillary incisors were retracted and intruded during orthodontic treatment. The study group comprised of 33 skeletal Class II malocclusion patients who underwent extraction for orthodontic treatment. Palatal alveolar bone thickness changes and resorption factors were identified and analyzed. The changes of maxillary central incisors and palatal alveolar bone thickness were measured, and the corresponding sample t test was performed using SPSS (IBM SPSS version 22). The amount of palatal alveolar bone resorption was measured and various parameters were analyzed to determine which factors affected it. Correlation analysis adopting the amount of palatal alveolar bone resorption as a dependent variable demonstrated that the SNB, mandibular plane angle, and the inclination of the maxillary central incisor were significantly correlated with before treatment. On the other hand, mandibular plane angle, angle of convexity, the inclination of the upper incisor, and the occlusal plane (UOP, POP) were significantly correlated with post-treatment. In addition, the variables related to palatal contour (PP to PAS, SN to PAS, palatal surface angle) and occlusal planes (UOP/POP) were significantly correlated with the difference in palatal bone resorption. During initial diagnosis, high angle class II with normal upper incisor inclination can be signs of high-risk factors. In addition, maintaining the occlusal plane during treatment helps to prevent palatal bone loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate morphometric characteristics of alveolar bone around the incisors of high-angle skeletal class III patients receiving surgical orthodontic treatment. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Thirty high-angle skeletal class III patients (mean age, 20.94 ± 3.25 years) underwent cone-beam computed tomography before treatment (T0), after pre-surgical orthodontic treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2). MATERIALS AND METHODS The vertical bone level (VBL), alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone area (ABA) and position of upper and lower central incisors (UCIs and LCIs) were evaluated. The ABT included five levels (4, 6, 8 mm from the cemento-enamel junction, midroot and root apex level). One-way repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni's multiple-comparison test and matched t test was performed to compare variables. RESULTS Before treatment, the average labial ABT was approximately 1 mm in UCIs and 0.38 ~ 0.79 mm in LCIs, and the VBL of the LCIs was over 2 mm. After treatment, the VBL increased by 2.19 ± 1.96 mm (P < .001) on the lingual side of UCIs and 2.78 ± 2.29 mm and 3.09 ± 2.52 mm on the labial and lingual sides of LCIs, respectively (all P < .001). ABT at every level decreased significantly, decreasing by 1.66 ± 1.93 mm at the 8 mm level of UCIs and 1.06 ± 1.01 mm at the apex of LCIs (P < .001). The lingual ABA of UCIs and LCIs decreased by over 50% (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In high-angle skeletal class III patients, the condition of alveolar bone around UCIs and LCIs was extremely poor before treatment. Further alveolar bone resorption occurred during surgical orthodontic treatment. More attention should be paid to the movement of anterior teeth in cases of severe alveolar bone loss.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate vertical bone loss and alveolar bone thickness in the maxillary and mandibular incisors of patients with skeletal class III malocclusion. This study also aimed to evaluate the periodontal condition of class III malocclusion patients who had not undergone orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods The sample included cone-beam computed tomography scans of 24 Korean subjects (3 male and 21 female). Alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone area (ABA), alveolar bone loss (ABL), and fenestration of the maxillary and mandibular incisors were measured using 3-dimensional imaging software. Results All incisors displayed an ABT of less than 1.0 mm from the labial surface to root level 7 (70% of the root length). A statistically significant difference was observed between the mandibular labial and lingual ABAs and between the maxillary labial and mandibular labial ABAs. The lingual ABA of the mandibular lateral incisors was larger than that of the mandibular central incisors. ABL was severe on the labial surface. A statistically significant difference was observed between the maxillary and mandibular labial ABL values(21.8% and 34.4%, respectively). Mandibular lingual ABL (27.6%) was significantly more severe than maxillary lingual ABL (18.3%) (P<0.05). Eighty-two fenestrations were found on the labial surfaces of the incisors, while only 2 fenestrations were observed on the lingual surfaces. Fenestrations were most commonly observed at root level 6. Conclusion Careful evaluation is needed before orthodontic treatment to avoid iatrogenic damage of periodontal support when treating patients with class III malocclusion.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between dental vestibular-palatal inclination changes and the cortical bone remodeling after fixed orthodontic treatment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Twenty-two patients with Angle Class I malocclusion, permanent dentition, and mild to moderate dental crowding were included in the present three-dimensional (3D) analysis. Bone dimensions were evaluated by CBCT scans obtained before and after orthodontic treatment, whereas the torque values were calculated by means of digital models using the 3D VistaDent software. A paired t-test was used to compare the changes between the pretreatment and post-treatment measurements. The correlations between variables were analyzed with linear regression analysis. A significant correlation between torque variations and bone thickness changes was observed for the apical buccal level of the anterior side (P < 0.05). Limited and not significant alveolar bone resorption for the apical thickness of anterior teeth occurred at ± 5 degrees of torque variation, while for tooth inclination exceeding +5 or -5 degrees, the bone remodeling was more evident. The present study demonstrated that anterior region was the most affected area by bone remodeling and that torque variation was highly related to apical bone thickness adaptation for maxillary and mandibular incisors and maxillary canines.

Abstract
Background Orthodontic treatment involving en-masse retraction of incisors following premolar extractions, may induce morphological alterations of the alveolar bone surrounding the anterior teeth. Objective To assess changes in alveolar bone thickness around the incisors of extraction patients measured with CBCT. Material and Methods An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane Library, using search terms, with no limitation on publication date, up to April 2018. The articles selected for analysis included randomized controlled trials, case-control studies and cohort studies of patients treated with fixed appliances and premolar extractions, which had measured alveolar bone thickness with CBCT before and after treatment. Changes in bone thickness were calculated and the heterogeneity of the studies was assessed using the I2 and Cochran’s Q tests. Results Of the 136 articles identified in the initial search, 19 were related to the review subject. After removing a further 14 that did not meet the inclusion criteria, 5 articles were selected for analysis. All five were retrospective studies of medium quality. The main changes in alveolar bone thickness were found in the labial cervical third of the central incisor, presenting increases of 0.4-0.64 mm. On the palatal side the results varied considerably. Conclusions A significant increase in alveolar bone thickness occurs in the labial cervical third of the central incisor. These changes may be influenced by incisor position and inclination, the orthodontic technique and mechanics employed, the timing of the final CBCT scan and the bone remodeling capacity during en-masse retraction.

The buccal and lingual ABT of the mandibular anterior teeth was measured at 3 and 6 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and at the root apices. The symphysis height and width were measured. The symphysis ratio was the ratio of symphysis height to symphysis width. Kendall’s tau correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between the variables at a 0.05 significance level. Results: The mandibular anterior teeth lingual and apical ABT positively correlated with symphysis width (p<0.05). Moreover, these thicknesses negatively correlated with the symphysis ratio (p<0.05). Symphysis widths and ratios showed higher correlation coefficients with total and buccal apical ABT, compared with lingual ABT. Buccal ABT at 3 and 6 mm apical to the CEJ was not significantly correlated with most symphysis dimensions. The mean thickness of the buccal alveolar bone at the upper root half was only 0.2-0.6 mm, which was very thin, when compared with other regions. Conclusion: For mandibular anterior teeth, the apical alveolar bone and lingual alveolar bone tended to be thicker in patients with a wide and short symphysis, compared to those with a narrow and long symphysis. Buccal alveolar bone was, in general, very thin and did not show a significant relationship with most symphysis dimensions.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to investigate the changes in alveolar bone after maxillary incisor intrusion and to determine the related factors in deep-bite patients. Methods Fifty maxillary central incisors of 25 patients were evaluated retrospectively. The maxillary incisors in Group I (12 patients; mean age, 16.51 ± 1.32 years) were intruded with a base-arch, while those in Group II (13 patients; mean age, 17.47 ± 2.71 years) were intruded with miniscrews. Changes in the alveolar envelope were assessed using pre-intrusion and post-intrusion cone-beam computed tomography images. Labial, palatal, and total bone thicknesses were evaluated at the crestal (3 mm), midroot (6 mm), and apical (9 mm) levels. Buccal and palatal alveolar crestal height, buccal bone height, and the prevalence of dehiscence were evaluated. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA was used to determine the significance of the changes. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis was performed to assess the relationship between dental and alveolar bone measurement changes. Results Upper incisor inclination and intrusion changes were significantly greater in Group II than in Group I. With treatment, the alveolar bone thickness at the labial bone thickness (LBT, 3 and 6 mm) decreased significantly in Group II (p < 0.001) as compared to Group I. The LBT change at 3 mm was strongly and positively correlated with the amount of upper incisor intrusion (r = 0.539; p = 0.005). Conclusions Change in the labial inclination and the amount of intrusion should be considered during upper incisor intrusion, as these factors increase the risk of alveolar bone loss.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the mean gingival thicknesses of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions in subjects with different craniofacial morphologies. METHODS For each dental arch, 128 periodontally healthy orthodontic patients with normal values of maxillary incisor position (1/NA, angle and distance; and 1/SN, angle) and mandibular incisor position (1/NB, angle and distance; and IMPA) were enrolled in the study. Craniofacial morphology of the participants was evaluated in the sagittal (ANB angle) and vertical directions (SN/GoGn angle) on lateral cephalograms. In the sagittal direction, the subjects were divided into 3 groups as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each group was classified as low angle, normal, or high angle in the vertical direction. Mean gingival thicknesses of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions were determined by the ratio of the sum of gingival thickness of the relevant teeth, measured by the transgingival probing technique, to the number of teeth. RESULTS Mean gingival thicknesses of the maxillary anterior region were 1.173 ± 0.61, 1.103 ± 0.207, and 1.130 ± 0.244 mm in the Class I, Class II, and Class III groups and 1.084 ± 0.150, 1.136 ± 0.247, and 1.159 ± 0.249 mm in the low angle, normal, and high angle groups, respectively. Mean gingival thicknesses of the mandibular anterior region were 0.710 ± 0.156, 0.741 ± 0.176, and 0.691 ± 0.157 mm in the Class I, Class II, and Class III groups and 0.705 ± 0.184, 0.701 ± 0.132, and 0.735 ± 0.174 mm in the low angle, normal, and high angle groups, respectively. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the mean gingival thicknesses of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the mean gingival thicknesses of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions.

Abstract
Background Orthodontic treatment can result in root resorption (RR). Traditional two-dimensional (2D) data exhibit magnification, deformation and positioning problems. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) contains more accurate three-dimensional (3D) information. This study identified and qualified the extent and location of root resorption using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) after comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Methods Studies comparing the RR before and after comprehensive orthodontic treatment using CBCT were identified using electronic searches of databases, including Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science, and manual searches in relevant journals and the reference lists of the included studies until Oct 25, 2017. The extraction of data and the risk of bias evaluation were conducted by two investigators independently. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS). Studies that reported the length and volume of teeth were used for quantitative analyses. Results Twelve studies were included in the meta-analysis. The length of all teeth after intervention was significantly shorter than that before treatment (MD = 0.80, 95% CI 0.56, 1.03, P < 0.00001). The sequence of RR from heaviest to lightest was maxillary lateral incisors, maxillary central incisors, mandibular anterior teeth, and maxillary canines. Studies were divided into two subgroups based on the use of tooth extraction. Root shortening after treatment was observed in both groups, and extraction caused more root resorption than was observed in the non-extraction group. Conclusions There were different degrees of root resorption after orthodontics, but it was clinically acceptable. Root resorption established in CBCT research was less serious and more accurate than that observed in the two-dimensional research. Current evidence suggests that root length and volume were reduced after orthodontic treatment. The order of the amount of RR was maxillary lateral incisors, maxillary central incisors and mandibular anterior teeth. Most of the articles were complicated by different confounding factors. Therefore, more high-quality clinical trials are needed to determine the risk factors of root resorption and optimal protocols for treatment and to draw more reliable conclusions.

Abstract
This case report describes the treatment of a 31-year-old woman with a convex profile, protrusive maxilla, retrusive mandible, and gummy smile. Four premolars were extracted, and micro-implant anchorage was used to retract the anterior teeth. Lip protrusion and the gummy smile were improved, but the computed tomography images showed dehiscence on the palatal alveolar bone of the maxillary incisors. Approximately 10 years after treatment, significant alveolar bone apposition was seen on the palatal surface of the maxillary anterior teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare alveolar bone thickness and height changes between untreated incisors (control), incisors advanced with light-force tipping, and incisors advanced with bodily movement mechanics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-three subjects (aged 9.49 ± 1.56 years) with anterior crossbite were allocated into an untreated group (control), tipping group, or bodily movement group. Lateral cephalograms were taken before advancement (T0) and after obtaining normal overjet (T1). Changes in labial and palatal alveolar bone thickness and height surrounding maxillary incisors were evaluated with limited field-of-view cone-beam computed tomography before advancement (CT0) and 4 months after normal overjet was obtained (CT1). Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank and Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA tests were used to compare changes within and between groups, as appropriate. The significance level was set at .05. RESULTS Labial alveolar bone thickness at the midroot and apical levels were significantly decreased in the bodily movement group ( P < .05). However, between groups, there was no statistically significant difference in labial bone thickness changes at any level. Palatal and total alveolar bone thickness at the midroot and apical levels were significantly decreased in the tipping group compared with the control and bodily movement groups ( P < .05). Neither labial nor palatal bone height changes were significantly different among groups. CONCLUSIONS Maxillary incisor advancement with light-force tipping and bodily movement in growing patients resulted in labial alveolar bone thickness and labial and palatal alveolar bone height changes that were similar to the untreated group.

Influence of Invisalign treatment with interproximal enamel reduction (IER) on bone volume for adult crowding: a retrospective three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography study. BMC Oral Health 2016; 16:83.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to use three-dimensional datasets to identify associations between treatment for adult crowding using Invisalign and interproximal enamel reduction (IER) and changes in the bone volume. Methods A total of 60 digital cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 30 patients (28 women, two men; 30 CBCTs pretreatment, 30 posttreatment) were examined retrospectively in order to record bone volume three-dimensionally before and after treatment. The patients’ average age was 36.03 ± 9.7 years. The data were collected and analyzed using the computer programs Mimics 15.0 and OsiriX. Differences in bone between T0 and T1 were analyzed with IBM SPSS 21.0 using the Wilcoxon test for paired samples. Results Analysis of the orovestibular bone volume showed highly significant changes (bone change P <0.001) only in the mandible where more expansion of the dental arch was carried out using proclination or protrusion. The bone lamella was thinner buccally and thicker lingually. In general, bone increases in the oral direction were slightly greater than bone losses in the vestibular direction. No significant changes were detected in the maxilla (bone change P = 0.13). Significant vertical bone loss in the bone height was detected in both the maxilla and the mandible. The largest bone loss was observed in the vestibular direction in the mandible, at a high level of significance (P <0.001). Conclusions Particularly in the mandible, therapeutic reduction of the vertical and sagittal bone volume shows that caution should be used in the treatment of tertiary crowding with proclination and expansion. The cortical walls appear to represent the limits for orthodontic tooth movement, at least in adult female patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the morphologic features and the relative position of the incisive canal with regard to the maxillary incisor roots using computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Morphologic evaluation of the incisive canal and its proximity to the maxillary central incisors were measured using CT images of 38 adults with skeletal and dental class I normal occlusion. Linear measurements were performed on the axial cross-sectional images corresponding to three vertical levels, the palatal opening of the incisive canal (L1), midlevel between the opening level and the root apex of the maxillary central incisors (L2), and the root apex of the maxillary central incisors (L3). RESULTS The percentage of subjects with an incisive canal width greater than the interroot distance of the central incisors was 86.8% and 63.2% at levels L1 and L2, respectively. The anteroposterior distance between the maxillary incisor roots and the boarder of the incisive canal was approximately 5-6 mm at levels L1 and L2. CONCLUSION The anteroposterior distance between the maxillary central incisor roots and the incisive canal was approximately 5-6 mm. More than 60% of the subjects had an incisive canal width greater than the interroot distance. Evaluation of the proximity of the incisive canal to the maxillary incisors, along with its dimensional characteristics, may be helpful when a considerable amount of maxillary retraction is planned.

Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated alveolar bone loss around mandibular incisors, induced by the Herbst appliance. Methods: The sample consisted of 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean age of 15.76 ± 1.75 years), Class II, Division 1 malocclusion, treated with the Herbst appliance. CBCT scans were obtained before treatment (T0) and after Herbst treatment (T1). Vertical alveolar bone level and alveolar bone thickness of mandibular incisors were assessed. Buccal (B), lingual (L) and total (T) bone thicknesses were assessed at crestal (1), midroot (2) and apical (3) levels of mandibular incisors. Student's t-test and Wilcoxon t-test were used to compare dependent samples in parametric and nonparametric cases, respectively. Pearson's and Spearman's rank correlation analyses were performed to determine the relationship of changes in alveolar bone thickness. Results were considered at a significance level of 5%. Results: Mandibular incisors showed no statistical significance for vertical alveolar bone level. Alveolar bone thickness of mandibular incisors significantly reduced after treatment at B1, B2, B3, T1 and significantly increased at L2. The magnitude of the statistically significant changes was less than 0.2 mm. The changes in alveolar bone thickness showed no statistical significance with incisor inclination degree. Conclusions: CBCT scans showed an association between the Herbst appliance and alveolar bone loss on the buccal surface of mandibular incisors; however, without clinical significance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the major limiting factors in retraction of proclined teeth is the width of the alveolus both in maxilla and mandible. AIM The objective of this study was to assess the maxillary and mandibular anterior alveolar dimensions and to correlate with mandibular divergence in Class I bi-dento-alveolar protrusion patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pretreatment lateral cephalograms (n=88) were analysed using a composite analysis with cephalometric software. Both maxillary and mandibular anterior alveolar widths and heights were measured and correlated with mandibular divergence. One-way analysis (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation test were used to compare and establish the significance between groups. RESULTS Segregation of the data based on variation in the bi-cortical widths and heights showed that lesser alveolar widths and greater alveolar heights were associated with the high angled subjects and greater alveolar widths and lesser heights were associated with low angled subjects. CONCLUSION Patients with hyperdivergent mandible exhibited thin anterior alveolar width and greater alveolar height whereas low angled subjects had wider alveolar width and lesser alveolar height. Orthodontic treatment plan for retraction of anterior teeth must be based on these differences caused by variations in mandibular divergence.

Abstract
Studies on orthodontic-periodontics relationships are numerous but few have benefited from the contribution of new 3D imaging techniques that emphasize iatrogenic effects that orthodontics may have on the periodontium. Periodontal risk in terms of fenestration, bone dehiscences next maxillary incisors are real during or after orthodontic treatment. The accurate assessment of the initial situation in terms of bone quantity in this dental arch anterior segment is thus very important. Our study aimed to evaluate the reliability of conventional lateral cephalograms to quantify alveolar bone thickness in relation to the maxillary incisors by comparing it with data from CT scans. The second objective was to identify an at risk patient profile by assessing possible correlations between this thickness and dysmorphia components. The results revealed a half of assessment error in the estimation of bone thickness and increased risk in case of hyperdivergence typology, Class III skeletal relationships and dento-alveolar protrusion. Finally, in view of these data, we discussed the clinical procedures to avoid such periodontal failures in this anterior segment of the dental arch.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness in adults with maxillary central incisors of different inclination by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Ninety maxillary central incisors from 45 patients were divided into three groups based on the maxillary central incisors to palatal plane angle; lingual-inclined, normal, and labial-inclined. Reformatted CBCT images were used to measure the labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness (ABT) at intervals corresponding to every 1/10 of the root length. The sum of labial ABT and lingual ABT at the level of the root apex was used to calculate the total ABT (TABT). The number of teeth exhibiting alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in each group was also tallied. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's honestly significant difference test were applied for statistical analysis. RESULTS The labial ABT and TABT values at the root apex in the lingual-inclined group were significantly lower than in the other groups (p < 0.05). Lingual and labial ABT values were very low at the cervical level in the lingual-inclined and normal groups. There was a higher prevalence of alveolar fenestration in the lingual-inclined group. CONCLUSIONS Lingual-inclined maxillary central incisors have less bone support at the level of the root apex and a greater frequency of alveolar bone defects than normal maxillary central incisors. The bone plate at the marginal level is also very thin.

Abstract
Aim: The study aims to know whether modern orthodontic treatment procedure do actually cause permanent bone loss at the alveolar bone crest or improve alveolar bone morphology on labial aspect of permanent incisors which are to be moved lingually. Settings and Design: Manual tracings of pre and post treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs were used. Material and Method: The cephalometric radiographs of 34 adult bengali subjects whose orthodontic treatment involved lingual positioning of procumbent mandibular central incisors were examined to determine the morphologic changes (bone height) in the labial alveolar bone that resulted from orthodontic treatment. Result: Comparison of tracings of radiographs taken before and after treatment indicated that 57.6% shows an increase in labial alveolar bone height, 30.3% shows decreased value and 12.1% shows no change with the decrease in the angulation between long axis of lower incisor and mandibular plane (GoGn). In the increase group there is a significant increase in the distance ‘incisal edge to D point’ whereas this dimension decreased significantly in the rest of the cases. In addition, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.56) was found between the changes in the distance from the incisal edge to the ‘D’ point and the alveolar bone height. But no significant relation was found between alveolar bone height and decrease in angulation of lower incisor either in the ‘increase group’ (r = 0.13, p > 0.05) or in the ‘decrease group’ (r = 0.37, p > 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that during orthodontic treatment that involves lingual positioning of procumbent teeth but no intrusion, an increase in the amount of buccal alveolar bone may take place.

Abstract
An 8-year-old girl with a skeletal Class III malocclusion was treated in 2 phases. Maxillary expansion and protraction were carried out as the early intervention. However, her maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular hyperplasia deteriorated with age. The phase 2 comprehensive treatment began with proper mechanics when she was 12 years old with growth potential. In the maxillary arch, an auxiliary rectangular wire was used with a round main wire and an opening spring to create space for the impacted teeth and to bodily move the anterior teeth forward. Decompensation of mandibular incisors and correction of the Class III malocclusion were achieved by short Class III elastics with light forces and a gentle interaction between the rectangular wires and the lingual root-torque slots. The phase 2 active treatment period was 4 years 8 months. The 2-year follow-up indicated that our treatment results were quite stable.

Abstract
A common dilemma in adult orthodontic treatment is deciding how best to treat missing posterior teeth. One treatment option is to orthodontically close the space. But closure can be difficult, especially if the open space is in the maxillary posterior area, because tooth movement through the maxillary sinus is limited. The increased difficulty of moving teeth in the maxillary sinus is similar to moving a tooth in the atrophic posterior mandibular ridge. If space closure is selected as a treatment method, proper mechanics and light forces should be applied. In this article, we report movement of teeth through the maxillary sinus and discuss various implications related to orthodontic treatment in the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare, through computed tomography, alveolar bone thickness changes at the maxillary incisors area during orthodontic treatment with and without tooth extraction. METHODS: Twelve patients were evaluated. They were divided into 2 groups: G1 - 6 patients treated with extraction of right and left maxillary first premolars, with mean initial age of 15.83 years and mean treatment length of 2.53 years; G2 - 6 patients treated without extraction, with mean initial age of 18.26 years and mean treatment length of 2.39 years. Computed tomographies, lateral cephalograms and periapical radiographs were used at the beginning of the treatment (T1) and 18 months after the treatment had started (T2). Extraction space closure occurred in the extraction cases. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons were performed by dependent and independent t test, respectively. RESULTS: In G1, the central incisor was retracted and uprighted, while in G2 this tooth showed vestibularization. Additionally, G1 presented a higher increase of labial alveolar bone thickness at the cervical third in comparison with G2. The incidence of root resorption did not present significant differences between groups. CONCLUSION: There were no changes in alveolar bone thickness when extraction and nonextraction cases were compared, except for the labial alveolar bone thickness at the cervical third of maxillary incisors.

Abstract
To propose a method of establishing the reference mandibular plane (MP), which could be reestablished according to the coordinates of the reference points, and then facilitate the assessment of anterior alveolar morphology using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), sixty patients with bimaxillary protrusion were randomly selected and CBCT scans were taken. The CBCT scans were transferred to Materialism's interactive medical image control system 10.01 (MIMICS 10.01), and three dimensional models of the entire jaws were constructed. Reference points determining the reference MP were positioned in the coronal, axial, sagittal windows, and the points were exactly located by recording their coordinates in the interfaces of software. The reference MP provided high intra-observer reliability (Pearson's r 0.992 to 0.999), and inter-observer reliability (intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) 0.996 to 0.999).
