Abstract:

Objective: To measure the distance from cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to alveolar crest (AC) of labial side of anterior teeth on skeletal Angle class Ⅲ patients under direct vision during periodontal bone augmentation surgery and to make relevant analysis to find the relevant factors. Methods: In the study, 46 skeletal Angle class Ⅲ patients (10 males and 36 females) received periodontal bone augmentation surgery of anterior teeth were included, with 67 jaws (27 maxillae and 40 mandibles) and 400 anterior teeth (161 maxillary anterior teeth and 239 mandibular anterior teeth). The mean age was 23.65 years. Maxillary anterior teeth consisted of 54 central incisors, 53 lateral incisors and 54 canines. Mandibular anterior teeth consisted of 79 central incisors, 80 lateral incisors and 80 canines. CEJ-AC was measured in three sites (mesial sites, central sites and distal sites) by Williams periodontal probes during periodontal bone augmentation surgery under direct vision by the same researcher. Results: The average CEJ-AC of 400 anterior teeth was (2.21±1.48) mm. The average CEJ-AC of maxillary anterior teeth was (1.72±1.13) mm, more than (2.54±1.60) mm of mandibular anterior teeth (P<0.05). The average CEJ-AC of canines was (2.42±1.78) mm, more than (2.06±1.27) mm of central incisors or (2.16±1.32) mm of lateral incisors (P<0.05). The average CEJ-AC of central sites was (3.04±2.01) mm, more than (1.79±0.86) mm of mesial sites or (1.81±0.89) mm of distal sites (P<0.05). CEJ-AC of 233 anterior teeth was more than 2 mm, accounting for 58.25%, and 117 anterior teeth with dehiscence were found, accounting for 29.25%. Multilevel and multivariate Logistic regression showed age, jaw, tooth and site were the relevant factors to the position of alveolar crest. Conclusion: The position of alveolar crest of skeletal Angle class Ⅲ patients who received periodontal bone augmentation surgery was lower than that of the general population, causing periodontal risks during decompensation orthodontics therapy before orthognathic surgery. The position of alveolar crest was lower in older patients than in younger patients, in mandibular teeth than in maxillary teeth, in canines than in central incisors or lateral incisors, and in central sites than in mesial sites or distal sites of labial side, which showed much higher risk.
