Correlation between facial growth patterns and cortical bone thickness assessed with cone-beam computed tomography in young adult untreated patients.

Background: The vertical facial growth pattern is one of the most important issue in the orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. Previous studies investigated the association between interdental bone thickness and facial divergence using mainly bidimensional analysis. When two-dimensional dental radiographic views are not sufficient for diagnosis and measurements, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images should be used to assess the alveolar bone structure three-dimensionally and with high accuracy and reliability.

Correlation between Dental Vestibular-Palatal Inclination and Alveolar Bone Remodeling after Orthodontic Treatment: A CBCT Analysis.

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.

Evaluation of crown inclination and angulation after orthodontic treatment using digital models : Comparison to the prescription of the brackets used.

Purpose: To compare crown inclination and angulation results obtained after orthodontic treatment to the Roth prescription.

Methods: The study design was based on files and documents obtained from a database of 26 patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment using the straight-wire technique and the Roth prescription. The crown inclination and angulation were measured using a three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric module (VistaDent, Dentsply, New York, NY, USA) by an orthodontist.

Correlation of Crown Angulation and Inclination Based on Occlusal, Camper's, and Frankfurt Planes Using Digital Models.

This study provided the measures of crown angulations and inclinations which were evaluated using 3D cephalometry. This study was conducted to demonstrate the relationship between the main planes : Camper's, Frankfurt, and occlusalplanes for guiding the positioning ofthe skull and orthodontic planning.

Cone beam computed tomography evaluation of distance from cementoenamel junction to alveolar crest before and after nonextraction orthodontic treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the alveolar bone crest before and after orthodontic treatment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 30 patients with Angle Class I malocclusion and mild to moderate crowding. The study database comprised dental CBCT scans obtained before and after orthodontic treatment.

Unilateral fusion of maxillary lateral incisor: diagnosis using cone beam computed tomography.

Objective. The objective of this paper is to report a dental fusion case focusing on clinical and radiographic features for the diagnosis. Method.

Apical root resorption due to orthodontic treatment detected by cone beam computed tomography.

Objective: To determine the frequency of apical root resorption (ARR) due to orthodontic treatment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a sample of 1256 roots from 30 patients.

Materials And Methods: All patients had Class I malocclusion with crowding. Of the 30 patients evaluated, 11 were boys and 19 were girls; their mean age was 13 years (11 to 16 years).
