Hong YY, Kang T, Zhou MQ, Zhong JY, Chen XP. Effect of varying auxiliaries on maxillary incisor torque control with clear aligners: A finite element analysis. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2024:S0889-5406(24)00111-2. [PMID: 38639703 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2024.02.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the effects of varying auxiliaries on tooth movement and stress distribution when maxillary central incisors were torqued 1° with a clear aligner through finite element analysis. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models, including maxillary alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, dentition, and clear aligner, were constructed. According to the auxiliaries designed on the maxillary central incisor, 5 models were created: (1) without auxiliaries (control model), (2) with the power ridge, (3) with the semi-ellipsoid attachment, (4) with the horizontal rectangular attachment, and (5) with the horizontal cylinder attachment. The tooth movement and periodontal ligament stress distribution after a palatal root torque of 1° were analyzed for each of the 5 models. RESULTS With 1° torque predicted, the maxillary central incisor without auxiliaries showed a tendency of labial tipping, mesial tipping, and intrusion. The rotation center moved occlusally in the power ridge model. The labiolingual inclination variation increased in the semi-ellipsoid attachment model but decreased in the power ridge model. The maxillary central incisor is twisted in the distal direction in the power ridge model. The maxillary central incisor of the horizontal rectangular attachment and the horizontal cylinder attachment model behaved similarly to the control model. Periodontal stresses were concentrated in the cervical and apical areas. The maximum von Mises stresses were 11.6, 12.4, 3.81, 1.14, and 11.0 kPa in the 5 models. The semi-ellipsoid attachment model exhibited a more uniform stress distribution than the other models. CONCLUSIONS Semi-ellipsoid attachment performed better efficacy on labiolingual inclination, and power ridge performed better efficacy on root control. However, a distal twist of maxillary incisors could be generated by the power ridge.

Orthod Craniofac Res 2024; 27:287-296. [PMID: 37929647 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12726] [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] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of fenestration and dehiscence between pre- and post-orthodontic treatment and to explore the factors related to fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth after treatment. METHODS This study included 1000 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 500 patients before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment. These images were imported into Dolphin 11.9 software to detect alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth area. The chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were performed to compare the prevalence of alveolar bone defects between time points T1 and T2. A total of 499 patients were selected for logistic regression analysis to examine the correlation among age, sex, crowding, sagittal facial type, extraction, miniscrew use and fenestration or dehiscence post-treatment. RESULTS Except for the maxillary lingual fenestration and labial fenestration of mandibular canines, a significant change in the prevalence of fenestration and dehiscence was noted between time points T1 and T2 (P < .025). Multinomial logistic regression showed that age, miniscrew use and extraction highly influenced the prevalence of anterior lingual dehiscence (P < .05). Dehiscence of the mandibular labial side (skeletal Class III vs. I, OR = 2.368, P = .000) and fenestration of the mandibular lingual side (skeletal Class II vs. I, OR = 2.344, P = .044) were strongly correlated with the sagittal facial type. Dehiscence of the maxillary labial side (moderate vs. mild, OR = 1.468, P = .017) was significantly associated with crowding. CONCLUSIONS Older age, maxillary moderate crowding, skeletal Class III, extraction and miniscrew potentially significantly affect the prevalence of anterior teeth dehiscence. Adult females, skeletal Class III patients on the mandibular labial side and skeletal Class II patients on the mandibular lingual side should be monitored for anterior teeth fenestration.

Abstract
The aim of this scoping review is to analyse the biological effects of the orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in areas with bone defects that are undergoing regeneration using different types of regenerative materials and techniques. The electronic research was performed on four databases as follows: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Data were extracted according to publication information, study design, sample characteristics, parameters of OTM, biological repercussions on the periodontium complex, methods of analysis, and conclusions. A total of thirty studies were included in the final review. In twenty-two studies, the most widely adopted grafting materials were alloplastics. In most studies, the orthodontic force used was 10 or 100 g, and the timing of application ranged from immediate to 6 months after grafting surgery. Twenty-four studies showed an increase in osteogenesis; in five studies, the clinical attachment level (CAL) increased; in five others, the probing pocket depth (PPD) decreased; in sixteen studies, there was root resorption of a different magnitude. Though the effects of OTM on the periodontium in the grafted areas were positive, the outcomes should be interpreted with caution as future preclinical and clinical studies are needed to extrapolate more valid conclusions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fenestration and dehiscence are alveolar bone defects. Although not considered a pathology, these alveolar bone defects end up influencing dental treatment, such as surgeries, mainly periodontal, and therefore must be considered during treatment planning. However, currently, little is known about the biomechanical origin of these bone formations. The aim of the study was to use the finite element method (FEM) to test hypotheses of predictive factors for fenestrations and dehiscence in human alveolar bone. METHODS A FEM simulation of the action of functional, parafunctional, and orthodontic occlusal loads on the upper central incisor and upper canine was performed. For the simulation, a three-dimensional model of an adult human skull, fully dented and with intact bone structure, was constructed from computed tomography images. The buccal alveolar bone lamina was evaluated considering the calculation of equivalent stresses, as well as maximum principal stresses. RESULTS The action of functional and parafunctional forces on the incisal edges and the orthodontic force on the buccal face of the upper central incisor and upper canine teeth generated tensions at different levels of magnitude in the buccal bone lamina, varying in regions, at all levels of strength. Changing levels of force magnitude resulted in variations in relation to the level of deformation. CONCLUSION The computational simulation using the FEM was able to identify a difference in stress in the alveolar bone tissue in each of the applied forces. The difference in stresses obtained may suggest the formation of dehiscence or fenestration in the region studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to observe the alveolar bone height changes in the anterior tooth region after orthodontic treatment for Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion. METHODS Ninety-three patients treated from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, of whom 48 received tooth extraction and 45 did not. RESULTS After orthodontic treatment, the alveolar bone heights in the anterior tooth regions of tooth extraction and non-extraction groups decreased by 67.31% and 66.94%, respectively. Except for the maxillary and mandibular canines in the tooth extraction group as well as the labial side of maxillary anterior teeth and the palatal side of maxillary central incisors of the non-extraction group, the alveolar bone heights of other sites significantly reduced (P<0.05). The reduction in the alveolar bone height of the tooth extraction group significantly exceeded that of the non-extraction group on the palatal side of maxillary incisors and the lingual side of mandibular anterior teeth (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Alveolar bone height in the anterior tooth region decreases after orthodontic treatment for Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion, being closely related to tooth position together with movement direction and amplitude.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore alveolar cortical positional change in response to tooth movement in extraction and non-extraction orthodontic cases, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and stable extra-alveolar references. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pre-treatment (T1) and post-treatment (T2) CBCT scans of 25 extraction (EXT) and matched 25 non-extraction (Non-EXT) orthodontic cases were imported into Dolphin Imaging 3D, and oriented uniformly. Sagittal and axial CBCT cross-sections were traced using customized software-generated guides. The displacement of teeth and alveolar bone cortices were automatically measured using the palatal plane (PP) and the line perpendicular to PP and passing Sella as reference. Intra- and inter-group differences between T1 and T2 were analysed. Subjects were also superimposed three-dimensionally using Geomagic Control X for qualitative analysis of cortical remodelling. RESULTS The EXT group showed incisor retraction, while the Non-EXT group exhibited statistically significant incisor anterior tipping (P < .05). In EXT, both the labial and palatal cortices are resorbed. Non-EXT showed labial cortex anterior modelling, and statistically significant palatal cortex resorption (P < .05). In both groups, statistically significant decrease in total and palatal alveolar widths, increase in labial widths, and palatal dehiscence were observed. Comparatively, EXT showed significantly more incisal total and palatal width decrease and palatal vertical bone loss. CONCLUSION Labial cortical remodelling was shown to follow anterior tooth movement, but the palatal cortical response to incisor retraction and labial cortical remodelling in general remained inconclusive. Narrowing of the alveolar housing and palatal dehiscence were observed regardless of extraction following orthodontic treatment.

The Cone Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of Cortical Bone Plate after Piezocision-Assisted Orthodontic Upper Arch Expansion: A Case Series. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14226967. [PMID: 34832368 PMCID: PMC8623075 DOI: 10.3390/ma14226967] [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: 10/10/2021] [Revised: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) after piezocision-assisted orthodontic maxillary arch expansion. Methods: Forty CBCT images of 20 patients taken before and after treatment were included in the study. The following radiographic parameters were measured: buccal/palatal bone plate thickness measured in three locations, 0.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 5 mm from the margin of alveolar process; cemento-enamel junction-crest distance (CEJ-C) measured at buccal (CEJ-B) and palatal/lingual (CEJ-P) aspects. Results: After treatment there were insignificant changes in CEJ-C and thickness of buccal/palatal plates for all the dental groups except for incisors and premolars. CEJ-B increased by 1.43 mm on premolars and CEJ-P by 1.65 mm on incisors and by 0.31 mm on premolars. On the incisors, the buccal plate width increased significantly, by 0.2 mm and 0.44 mm at 3.5-mm and 5-mm measurement points. On premolars, the buccal plate width decreased in three measuring points by 0.27 mm, 0.37 mm, and 0.25 mm. Conclusions: Piezocision-assisted orthodontic maxillary arch expansion does not cause evident negative changes of cortical plates except for the premolar region. Therefore, premolars may be at greater risk of buccal plate loss than other teeth.

Abstract
In this report, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the Invisalign® system in the treatment of severe gingival recession and bone dehiscence through torque, translation, and intrusion movements in a young woman. Cone-beam computed tomography was used to assess bone parameters and check the teeth during treatment. The root of the mandibular right central incisor, which was buccally positioned and exhibited bone dehiscence of 9.4 mm, was moved toward the center of the alveolar process by using the Invisalign® system and SmartForce® features. The patient was monitored by a periodontist throughout the orthodontic treatment period. Her gingival recession reduced, while the bone dehiscence reduced from 9.40 mm to 3.14 mm. Thus, movement of the root into the alveolus promoted bone neoformation and treated the gingival recession. The findings from this case suggest that orthodontic treatment using the Invisalign® system, along with periodontal monitoring, can aid in the treatment of gingival recession and alveolar defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Planning a comprehensive dental treatment should include assessment and classification of the condition of the alveolar ridge. Existing classifications are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of bone deficiencies in the anterior mandible and to develop an extension of one of the alveolar bone dehiscence classification. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 100 adults with the mean age of 36.75 ± 11.77 years were analyzed. Measurements were taken from the 31. tooth. RESULTS The presence of any bone defect was found in 91 (91%) of cases. Fenestrations were detected in 9% of study images, and dehiscence were detected in 90% of study images. A thin alveolar plate of below 0.2 mm independent from the side was found in 37 (37%) of cases. The mean height of buccal fenestration was 3.10 ± 1.09 mm, and the mean height of lingual fenestration was 2.73 ± 0.91 mm. The mean height of buccal dehiscence was 4.39 ± 1.82 mm, and the mean height of lingual dehiscence was 4.27 ± 2.49 mm. CONCLUSIONS An attempt to restore the correct morphology of the alveolar process after improper treatment constitutes a therapeutic challenge. The frequent occurrence of bone deficiency prompts establishing safe treatment planning strategies, including careful assessment of the alveolar process supported by the comprehensive classification of bone defects.

Modern 3D cephalometry in pediatric orthodontics-downsizing the FOV and development of a new 3D cephalometric analysis within a minimized large FOV for dose reduction. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:4651-4670. [PMID: 33492515 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03779-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dose reduction achieved by downsizing the field of view (FOV) in CBCT scans has brought no benefit for pediatric orthodontics, until now. Standard 2D or 3D full-size cephalometric analyses require large FOVs and high effective doses. The aim of this study was to compare a new 3D reduced-FOV analysis using the Frankfurt horizontal (FH) plane as reference plane with a conventional full-size analysis using the Sella-Nasion (S-N) plane as reference plane. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight CBCT data sets were evaluated using full- and reduced-FOV analysis. The measurements of a total of 20 skeletal and dental standard 3D full-size variables were compared with the measurements of 22 corresponding 3D reduced-FOV variables. Statistical analysis was performed to prove mathematic relation between standard and alternative variables. Regression analyses were carried out. RESULTS Coefficients of determination (R2) between 0.15 and 0.95 (p < 0.001-0.055) were described. All variables showed obvious relations of different strength except for SNA and its alternative Po_R-Or_R-A (°) (R2 = 0.15, p = 0.055), but a second variable Ba_A (mm) showed stronger relation (R2 = 0.28, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS All standard variables related to the reference plane S-N could be described with alternative variables related to the FH. Further research should define more reliable landmarks for coordinate systems and reference points. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Minimized large FOVs meet the demand of 3D cephalometric analyses and enable the application of CBCT scans in pediatric orthodontic patients in many specific indications. Dose reduction is accompanied by increasing access to all the advantages of 3D imaging over 2D imaging.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW 3D cone beam imaging (CBCT) has allowed clinicians to better understand the anatomical variations of cranial anatomy. One crucial aspect of this technology plays is the understanding of alveolar bone morphology and remodeling. Variations in cortical bone thickness between individuals have been reported. No published study has analyzed the relationship between cortical bone thickness and rate of tooth movement. The aim of this study is to begin answering the question: is there an association between rate of tooth movement and cortical bone thickness? RECENT FINDINGS Twenty-three patients underwent extraction of a single premolar in each of the four quadrants prior to orthodontic therapy. Routine clinical records including 3D CBCT images were acquired of all patients prior to first premolar extractions. Rate of tooth movement in each quadrant for each patient was determined via mesiodistal millimetric measurements obtained by a single calibrated operator. With CBCT images, cortical bone thickness was measured at various levels from the alveolar crest along the long axis of the to-be-extracted first premolars. The association between cortical bone thickness and rate of tooth movement was analyzed. Statistically significant associations were found between rate of tooth movement and cortical bone thickness at levels 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm, apical to the alveolar crest in both the right and left maxillary quadrants (p < 0.05). Statistically significant associations were found between rate of tooth movement and cortical bone thickness at levels 5 mm and 8 mm apical to the alveolar crest in both mandibular quadrants (p < 0.05). Increased cortical bone thickness was associated with decreased rate of tooth movement. There was no statistically significant association between rate of tooth movement and cortical bone thickness 2 mm apical to the alveolar crest of the to-be-extracted first premolars in the mandibular left nor right quadrants (p > 0.05). Results suggest an inverse relationship may exist between cortical bone thickness and rate of tooth movement in both the maxilla and mandible. Cortical bone thickness may have the potential to serve as a predictive tool for rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
