Abstract

Introduction: Sagittal root position (SRP) of maxillary incisors is an important factor in implant treatment planning. Purpose-Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used in this study to analyse how the alveolar bone surrounding the maxillary incisors has changed as a result of orthodontic tooth movement and to explain the impact of those changes on SRP categorization. Methods: In the present investigation, the labial/palatal bone surrounding the central incisors on CBCT images taken before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment were examined for changes in dimension (mm). 77 patients' initial (T1) and final (T2) CBCT pictures were imported using the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) protocol. 127 central incisors that satisfied the inclusion criteria had mid-sagittal pictures taken of them. Each incisor's SRP was noted at T1 and T2. Utilising the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Independent Samples Kruskal-Wallis Test ( = 0.05), the labial, palatal, and total alveolar width changes (mm) were examined. Results: For teeth that underwent positive inclination change (PIC), statistically different dimension changes were seen between T1 and T2. Total alveolar width dimension decreased as a result of labial bone dimensions increasing and palatal bone dimensions decreasing, with different magnitudes (p .05). Negative inclination change (NIC) group changes were generally not statistically significant. At T1, 82% of teeth were SRP class I, and 18% were SRP class II. Between T1 and T2, 54% of teeth's SRP classification changed (67% and 19% of PIC and NIC groups, respectively). Conclusions: In teeth that suffer PIC, the alveolar process surrounding the maxillary central incisors adapts statistically significantly and in a predictable way. SRP classification varies as a result of orthodontic motion that alters inclination.
