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.

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics adjuvant camouflage therapy for Class III malocclusion: a case report.

BMC Oral Health

November 2024

Department of Orthodontics (WangFuJing Campus), School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, Scylla alley No.11, Beijing, 100006, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Potential risks in orthodontics increase with tooth movement beyond alveolar bone, particularly in patients with a thin bone plate, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and multidisciplinary strategies.
  • - A case report illustrates successful treatment of a 25-year-old man with Class III malocclusion using periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO), involving techniques like molar distalization and mandibular incisor retraction.
  • - The treatment resulted in improved dental alignment, enhanced labial bone thickness, and minimized complications such as bone fenestration and dehiscence, highlighting the effectiveness of PAOO in orthodontic cases.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the diagnostic value of ultrasonography (USG) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the visibility of periodontal defects.

Materials And Methods: We created 37 periodontal defects (dehiscence and fenestration) in fresh sheep mandibles. Two dentomaxillofacial radiologists assessed the CBCT and ultrasonographic images for the presence of defects.

Background: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a vestibular-cochlear disorder in humans in which a pathological third mobile window of the otic capsule creates changes to the flow of sound pressure energy through the perilymph/endolymph. The primary symptoms include sound-induced dizziness/vertigo, inner ear conductive hearing loss, autophony, headaches, and visual problems. We have developed an animal model of this human condition in the Mongolian Gerbil that uses surgically created SSCD to induce the condition.

A Life-Size Three-Dimensional Phantom for Periodontal Imaging Development and Treatment-Planning.

Acad Radiol

October 2023

Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, School of Dentistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA (A.R.B., H.-L.C.).

Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to (1) describe a periodontal and implant ultrasound imaging phantom designed for training of common periodontal and peri-implant soft- and hard-tissue deficiencies, and (2) detail the specific anatomical phantom features and showcase imaging data obtained from intraoral scans, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as well as ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: A prototype, full-sized, three-dimensional (3D), periodontal ultrasound phantom was created. To mimic periodontal and peri-implant soft-tissue, a phantom material similar to soft-tissue was attached.

Department of Stomatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei 430071, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between vertical facial patterns and the structure of alveolar bone and teeth, which is important for effective orthodontic treatment planning.
  • Researchers analyzed 300 cone-beam computed tomography scans from orthodontic patients, focusing on alveolar bone thickness and the crown and root dimensions of maxillary anterior teeth across different facial types.
  • Results showed that short facial types had thicker alveolar bone compared to normal and long facial types, emphasizing the need to consider facial type during orthodontic planning.
