Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: This study aimed to measure and analyze the transverse indicators of normodivergent patients with different sagittal skeletal malocclusions, to explore the transverse characteristics of different sagittal skeletal malocclusions. METHODS: Lateral cephalograms and CBCT of 90 normodivergent patients with skeletal Class Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ in their permanent dentition were collected. Dolphin software was applied to measure the widths of the basal bone, alveolar bone, dental arch and buccolingual inclination angle of the corresponding teeth in the maxillary and mandibular canine, premolar and molar areas. SPSS 22.0 software package was applied for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: The widths of the mandibular basal bone in canine, premolar and molar areas of skeletal Class Ⅲ were (27.15±2.74), (39.30±2.82) and (59.97±2.93) mm, respectively. The widths of the mandibular alveolar bone of skeletal Class Ⅲ were (25.38±1.78), (34.51±2.28) and (47.72±2.73) mm, respectively. The dental arch widths of the maxillary premolar and mandibular canine areas of skeletal Class Ⅲ were (48.70±2.35) and (30.69±2.31)mm, respectively. The above data of skeletal Class Ⅲ were significantly larger than those of skeletal Class Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P<0.01). The dental arch widths of the maxillary canine, maxillary molar and mandibular molar areas of skeletal Class Ⅲ were (38.88±1.90), (59.51±3.40) and (56.01±2.86)mm, respectively, which were significantly larger than those of skeletal Class Ⅱ(P<0.05). The maxillomandibular width difference of basal bone in the canine, premolar and molar areas of skeletal Class Ⅲ were (4.69±2.84), (2.31±2.39) and (3.27±2.05) mm, respectively, which were significantly less than that of skeletal Class Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P<0.01). Compared with skeletal Class Ⅰ, the maxillary canines and first molars of skeletal Class Ⅱ had larger lingual inclination level, while the maxillary first premolars and first molars of skeletal Class Ⅲ had larger buccal inclination level, the mandibular canines and the mandibular first premolars of skeletal Class Ⅲ had larger lingual inclination level(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: For normodivergent patients, the width of the mandibular base bone, alveolar bone, and maxillary and mandibular dental arch in skeletal Class Ⅲ is the widest, which is more likely to have width discrepancy in basal bone. In skeletal Class Ⅲ, the maxillary teeth are buccally inclined, and the mandibular teeth are ingually inclined. In skeletal Class Ⅱ, the maxillary teeth are lingually inclined, and the mandibular teeth are compensatory upright.
