[PMID: 38158507 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05387-3] [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: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine safe areas to apply miniscrews in the interradicular region of the maxilla and mandible in individuals with various sagittal skeletal malocclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam-computed tomography images of 159 individuals were used. Individuals were divided into three groups: Class I, Class II, and Class III. In the sagittal plane, 3-6-9-mm apical sections were determined from the alveolar crest apex. The buccal cortical bone thickness, interradicular distance, and buccolingual bone distances were measured. RESULTS In the buccal cortical bone thickness, we observed statistically significant differences between the classes except for the 1-1 region in the maxilla and all regions and sections in the mandible (p < 0.05). The differences in the buccolingual bone distance between classes were statistically significant, except for the 3-mm and 6-mm sections in the 3-4 and 4-5 regions of the maxilla, the 9-mm sections in the 1-2 and 2-3 regions, the 6-mm and 9-mm sections in the 3-4 region, and the 6-mm section in the 4-5 regions of the mandible (p < 0.05). The differences in the interradicular bone distance were statistically significant between the classes in all regions and sections of the mandible except the 6-mm sections in the 1-2 region and in all sections of the maxilla except the 6-mm sections in the 3-4 region (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We observed significant differences in the buccal cortical bone thickness, interradicular bone distance, and buccolingual bone distance among individuals. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Understanding the anatomy of interradicular regions and preventing complications.

Is the distribution of cortical bone in the mandibular corpus and symphysis linked to loading environment in modern humans? A systematic review. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 152:105718. [PMID: 37182318 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The human mandible is a unique bone with specific external and internal morphological characteristics, influenced by a complex and challenging loading environment. Mandibular cortical thickness distribution in cross-sections is reported to be related to facial divergence patterns, cultural and dietary habits and more generally, specific loading environment. This review hypothesises that a process of environmental mechanical sensitivity is involved in the distribution of cortical bone in the mandibular corpus and symphysis in modern humans, and that loading regimes can influence this distribution pattern. Based on a review of the recent literature, this study aims to answer the following question: "Is the distribution of cortical bone in the mandibular corpus and symphysis linked to the loading environment in modern humans?" DESIGN A systematic review was undertaken using the PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases for publications from 1984 to 2022 investigating the relationship between cortical bone distribution in the mandibular corpus and the loading environment. A subgroup meta-analysis was performed to determine the overall effect of facial divergence on cortical thickness. RESULTS From a total of 2791 studies, 20 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The meta-analyses were performed in eight studies using a randomised model, finding a significant overall effect of facial divergence on cortical thickness in posterior areas of the mandible (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this review, specific loading regimes and their consequent variables (diet, culture, facial divergence) were linked to cortical thickness distribution. Sex was found to be unrelated to cortical thickness pattern.

Analysis of biological and structural factors implicated in the clinical success of orthodontic miniscrews at posterior maxillary interradicular sites. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:3523-3532. [PMID: 34837567 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04321-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate success factors implicated in clinical orthodontic miniscrew stability after their interradicular placement in maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six hundred seventy-six miniscrews were inserted in maxillary interradicular sites in a sample of 276 patients (109 males and 167 females; mean age 19 ± 1.7 years) and immediately loaded. Percentage failure rate was recorded, and the influence of the following factors was investigated: structural (miniscrew length, diameter and body shape), operative (side of insertion site, pilot hole drilling or not) and biological (maximal insertion torque [MIT] and type of gingiva). A chi-square test with Monte Carlo correction was performed to detect the influence of these variables on the failure rate of orthodontic miniscrews. Then both multivariate logistic regression and post hoc analysis were performed, followed by classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. RESULTS The average success rate was 88%. The principal factors implicated in the failure rate were miniscrew length, MIT values and type of gingiva. Specifically, 8 mm miniscrew length, alveolar mucosa and 5-10 Ncm MIT values were linked to higher failure rates. According to CART, the main variable influencing failure is miniscrew length (≤ 8 mm for higher failure rates). For others, MIT values of 5-10 Ncm are linked to higher failure rates (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Orthodontic miniscrews inserted in the maxilla display good success rates. However, clinicians should be discouraged from using miniscrews of length ≤ 8 mm and MIT values < 10 Ncm, even with longer miniscrews. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Information about factors related to failure rate of miniscrews placed at posterior maxillary interradicular sites is given.

Interradicular distance and alveolar bone thickness for miniscrew insertion: a CBCT study of Persian adults with different sagittal skeletal patterns. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:534. [PMID: 34657622 PMCID: PMC8522110 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-01891-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the interradicular distance and alveolar bone thickness of Persian adults with different sagittal skeletal patterns for miniscrew insertion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on maxillary and mandibular CBCT scans of 60 patients (18–35 years) in three groups (n = 20) of class I, II and III sagittal skeletal pattern. Anatomical and skeletal parameters were measured at 2, 4 and 6 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) by one examiner. The intra- and inter-class correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the intra, and interobserver reliability. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test (alpha = 0.05). Results The intra- and interobserver reliability were > 0.9 for all parameters. The largest inter-radicular distance in the maxilla was between the central incisors (1–1) in classes I and III, and between premolars (4–5) in class II patients. The largest inter-radicular distance in the mandible was between molar teeth (6–7) in all three classes. The buccal cortical plate thickness was maximum at the site of mandibular first and second molars (6–7). The posterior maxilla and mandible showed the maximum thickness of cancellous bone and alveolar process. Wide variations were noted in this respect between class I, II and III patients. Conclusions The area with maximum inter-radicular distance and optimal alveolar bone thickness for miniscrew insertion varies in different individuals, depending on their sagittal skeletal pattern.

Safe sites for orthodontic miniscrew insertion in the infrazygomatic crest area in different facial types: A tomographic study. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021; 161:37-45. [PMID: 34391619 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2020.06.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2019] [Revised: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) are used to obtain skeletal anchorage for orthodontic treatment. Their insertion in the infrazygomatic crest (IZC) allows efficient orthodontic mechanics. Different facial types have different bone configurations. We aimed to evaluate the differences in bone thicknesses in the IZC area among patients of each facial type to determine a safe zone for TSAD insertion. METHODS For this retrospective study, 86 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were divided into 3 groups according to the facial type: group I, 24 CBCT scans of hyperdivergent patients; group II, 30 scans of neutral patients; and group III, 32 scans of hypodivergent patients. The buccal alveolar bone thickness was measured in 6 zones between the second premolar and distal root of the second molar, 5, 7, 9, and 11 mm apical to the alveolar crest. RESULTS The IZC areas with minimum thickness for TSAD insertion follows: group I, between first and second molars at 11 mm from the alveolar crest, mesial root of the second molar at 9 mm from the crest, and distal root of the second molar at 11 mm from the crest; groups II and III, between first and second molars at 11 mm from the crest and mesial root of the second molar at 11 mm from the crest. CONCLUSIONS The safe zones for IZC miniscrew insertion are located 11 mm from the alveolar crest between the maxillary first and second molars and on the mesial root of the second molar for all the 3 facial types.

Mandibular skeletal posterior anatomic limit for molar distalization in patients with Class III malocclusion with different vertical facial patterns. Korean J Orthod 2021; 51:250-259. [PMID: 34275881 PMCID: PMC8290085 DOI: 10.4041/kjod.2021.51.4.250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the differences in mandibular posterior anatomic limit (MPAL) distances stratified by vertical patterns in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods CBCT images of 48 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion (mean age, 22.8 ± 3.1 years) categorized according to the vertical patterns (hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent; n = 16 per group) were analyzed. While parallel to the posterior occlusal line, the shortest linear distances from the distal root of the mandibular second molar to the inner cortex of the mandibular body were measured at depths of 4, 6, and 8 mm from the cementoenamel junction. MPAL distances were compared between the three groups, and their correlations were analyzed. Results The mean ages, sex distribution, asymmetry, and crowding in the three groups showed no significant differences. MPAL distance was significantly longer in male (3.8 ± 2.6 mm) than in female (1.8 ± 1.2 mm) at the 8-mm root level. At all root levels, MPAL distances were significantly different in the hypodivergent and hyperdivergent groups (p < 0.001) and between the normodivergent and hyperdivergent groups (p < 0.01). MPAL distances were the shortest in the hyperdivergent group. The mandibular plane angle highly correlated with MPAL distances at all root levels (p < 0.01). Conclusions MPAL distances were the shortest in patients with hyperdivergent patterns and showed a decreasing tendency as the mandibular plane angle increased. MPAL distances were significantly shorter (~3.16 mm) at the 8-mm root level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Controversial reports suggest a relationship between growth pattern and cortical alveolar bone thickness, and its effect in the use of mini-implants. OBJECTIVE The main purpose of this study was to assess the influence of the growth pattern on the cortical alveolar bone thickness and on the stability and success rate of mini-implants. METHODS Fifty-six mini-implants were inserted in the buccal region of the maxilla of 30 patients. These patients were allocated into two groups, based on their growth pattern (horizontal group [HG] and vertical group [VG]). Cortical thickness was measured using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. Stability of mini-implants, soft tissue in the insertion site, sensitivity during loading and plaque around the mini-implants were evaluated once a month. Intergroup comparisons were performed using t tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Fisher exact tests. Correlations were evaluated with Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS The cortical bone thickness was significantly greater in the HG at the maxillary labial anterior region and at the mandibular buccal posterior and labial anterior regions. There was a significant negative correlation between Frankfort-mandibular plane angle (FMA) and the labial cortical thickness of the maxilla, and with the labial and lingual cortical bone thicknesses of the mandible. No significant intergroup difference was found for mini-implant mobility and success rate. No associated factor influenced stability of the mini-implants. CONCLUSIONS Growth pattern affects the alveolar bone cortical thickness in specific areas of the maxilla and mandible, with horizontal patients presenting greater cortical bone thickness. However, this fact may have no influence on the stability and success rate of mini-implants in the maxillary buccal posterior region.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Safe zone maps are useful for the clinician to plan miniscrew insertion and possibly reduce radiation exposure. This study aimed to investigate the available evidence regarding the presence of sufficient interradicular space and adequate cortical bone thickness in patients with a complete permanent dentition, in the vestibular and palatal or lingual interradicular sites, mesial to the second molar. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and OpenGrey databases were searched up to January 2019 for observational studies involving patients with fully erupted second molars that investigated the amount of interradicular space and/or the cortical thickness of the alveolar processes using 3-dimensional data sets. A custom tool was prepared and used to assess the risk of bias in individual studies. A meta-analysis was performed when at least 4 different studies evaluated 1 identical parameter homogeneously. Publication bias was assessed with the Egger linear regression test. RESULTS Twenty-seven observational articles were included in the qualitative synthesis. Only 11 articles were at low risk of bias. Fifteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results were graphically reported in "safe-zone" maps. CONCLUSIONS In the maxilla, the most suitable insertion sites are those from mesial to the first molar to distal to the first premolar, and between the canine and the lateral incisor, all at 6 mm from the cementoenamel junction. In those areas, the cortical bone has adequate thickness, not requiring predrilling. In the mandible, the preferable vestibular interradicular spaces are those between first and second molars and between first and second premolars, both at 5 mm from the cementoenamel junction, and predrilling is suggested in these areas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infrazygomatic crest (IZC) dimension is an important factor in the safety and stability of bone screws. The dimension is known to vary according to the dimensions of the maxillary sinus, which in turn depends on the vertical facial skeletal pattern. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to compare the infrazygomatic crest thickness (IZC) above the mesiobuccal root of the first and second maxillary molar in different vertical skeletal patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted in Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and lateral cephalograms of 36 subjects were collected and divided into 3 groups (12 subjects in each group) depending on their vertical skeletal pattern, namely normal, low and high angle. Vertical skeletal pattern was assessed using lateral cephalogram whereas IZC thickness was measured using CBCT. Mann Whitney U test was done to compare the bone thickness in the right and left sides and also to compare the same above the mesiobuccal root of the first and second molar. Kruskal Wallis and post hoc tests were done to compare bone thickness among the three groups. P-value was set at 0.05 for all the analysis. RESULTS Significant difference in IZC bone thickness above the first molar region was noted between high angle and average angle groups (P-value 0.001) and high angle and low angle (P-value 0.001). Above the second molar region, a significant difference was seen between high angle and average angle groups (P-value 0.001). Significant difference in bone thickness was also observed among the first molar and second molar region in all the three groups (P-value<0.05). CONCLUSION IZC thickness was the least in high-angle subjects. Clinically, it is desirable to place the IZC screw above the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary second molar especially in high-angle subjects.

Abstract
Background To assess the anatomy of the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to identify the region of miniscrew implantation for the distalization of mandibular dentition. Materials and methods The MBS was assessed in 80 patients at four regions as follows: (i) between the buccal root of the mandibular second premolar and the mesiobuccal root of the first molar (L5b–L6mb), (ii) between the mesiodistal root of the first molar (L6mb–L6db), (iii) between the distobuccal root of the first molar and the mesiobuccal root of the second molar (L6db–L7mb), and (iv) between the mesiodistal roots of the second molar (L7mb–L7db). The buccal alveolar bone thickness, the narrowest inter-radicular space at the buccal side of the roots, and the distance between the implantation site and the mandibular neural tube were measured at horizontal planes of 3, 5, 7, and 9 mm from the alveolar crest. Results The buccal alveolar bone thickness increased from the premolar to the molar and from the crest edge to the mandibular roots. The L7mb–L7db region had the thickest buccal alveolar bone of 7.61 mm at a plane of 9 mm. The buccal inter-radicular spaces were smallest in the L7mb–L7db region and greatest in the L6db–L7mb region. The distances from the implantation site to the mandibular neural tube at planes of 3, 5, 7, and 9 mm were all > 13 mm from the L6 region to the L7 region. Conclusions The L6db–L7mb region should be the first choice for miniscrew implantation in the MBS for the distalization of mandibular dentition.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify the available maxillary alveolar bone in a group of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) to determine the best areas for orthodontic miniscrew placement. The study group consisted of 40 patients with DS aged 12-30 years. We also selected an age and sex-matched control group. All measurements were performed on cross-sectional images obtained with cone-beam computed tomography. The selected areas of interest were the 4 interradicular spaces between the distal wall of the canine and the mesial wall of the second molar, in both maxillary quadrants. We measured the vestibular-palatine (VP) and mesiodistal (MD) dimensions to depths of 3, 6 and 9 mm from the alveolar ridge. We also measured the bone density in the same interradicular spaces of interest to 6 mm of depth from the alveolar crest. VP measurements were longer in the more posterior sectors and as the distance from the alveolar ridge increased. MD measurements also increased progressively as the distance from the alveolar ridge increased. In general, both the VP and MD measurements in the DS group were similar among the male and female participants. As age increased, the MD distance increased, while the VP distance decreased. The VP distance was ≥6 mm in at least 75% of the DS group in practically all assessed interdental spaces. The MD distance was ≥2 mm in at least 75% of the DS group only between the first and second molar, to 9 mm of depth from the alveolar ridge. The safe area for inserting orthodontic miniscrews in DS patients is restricted to the most posterior and deepest area of the maxillary alveolar bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to perform a histological evaluation of a titanium mini-implant for orthodontic anchorage. Shear strength and fracture patterns that occurred immediately, 30 and 60 days after insertion with or without N-2-butyl-cyanoacrylate adhesive were evaluated. METHODS Ninety-six mini-implants (Arrow, Peclab, Brazil) were placed in the tibia of 9 male rabbits, with or without an adhesive (Vetbond™, 3M, USA). Histological evaluation was done by optical light microscope. Shear strength testing was performed, followed by fracture analysis with visual inspection. RESULTS Close contact between the newly formed bone and the device was evidenced in the group without adhesive, whereas gaps in the group with adhesive were found. Tukey test showed similar values in both groups at the immediate time point (20.70 N without adhesive and 24.69 N with adhesive), and higher values for the non-adhesive group, after 30 and 60 days (43.98 N and 78.55 N, respectively). The values for the adhesive group were similar for the immediate time point (24.69 N), 30 days (18.23 N) and 60 days (31.98 N). The fractures were adhesive for both groups at the immediate time point. The fractures were cohesive in bone for the non-adhesive group after 30 and 60 days. CONCLUSIONS The mini-implants showed close bone contact and required higher shear strength for removal at 30 and 60 days for the non-adhesive group. Further studies are needed to assess the proper way to remove the orthodontic anchorage without cohesive fractures in bone.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify the cortical and cancellous bone in the mandibular symphysis and relate it to the teeth and to the skeletal class. A descriptive study was conducted using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Class I and class III subjects were included, defined according to dental occlusion and cephalogram results. Linear measurements were taken on the CBCT of the mandibular canines, lateral incisors, and central incisors, where the analysis was related to the axial and apical axes considering the bone in relation to the dental area. With previous definitions, an observer took 2 measurements of the height of the mandibular symphysis, cortical bone of the buccal and lower region, and thickness of cancellous bone at different levels; the correlation coefficient between the first and second measurement was 0.99 and presented P = .001. The results were analyzed with analysis of variance and Tukey's honest significant difference test, with P < .05 being statistically significant. The symphysis height was significantly greater in class III subjects. The cortical bone was an average 1.67 ± 0.44 mm in vertical distance in the skeletal class I group and 1.74 ± 0.47 mm in the class III group. The cancellous bone had an average width of 5.03 ± 1.94 mm in the skeletal class I group and 4.74 ± 2.05 mm in the class III group. It was observed that cancellous bone was significantly thicker at the incisor level than at the canine level. There were anatomical differences between skeletal class I and class III subjects, although the clinical significance may be questionable. With the values from these analyses, it may be concluded that there are no significant differences in quantitation of the cortical and cancellous bone in the anterior mandibular symphysis.
