OBJECTIVE: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies in the development of the human dentition and may have wider associations in the development of the dentition including tooth size. This study aimed to compare mesiodistal crown dimension and arch widths between subjects with hypodontia and subjects without hypodontia (control group). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dental casts were measured of 55 hypodontia patients and 55 patients with total permanent dentition (control group). Tooth agenesis was evaluated for hypodontia, excluding the third molars, from the panoramic radiograph. Mesiodistal crown dimensions were recorded by measuring all erupted teeth on study models with a digital Mitutoyo caliper (Mitutoyo U.K. Ltd, United Kingdom). RESULTS: Patients with hypodontia had smaller mesiodistal tooth dimensions than the control group, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05) for all teeth in both genders. Upper lateral incisors, lower central incisors, and lower second molars showed the highest difference in tooth dimension. Also, the intercanine and intermolar arch widths in the hypodontia group were statistically significantly reduced (p < 0.05) compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate that the mesiodistal crown dimensions and arch widths are reduced in hypodontia patients. This should be taken into account when planning orthodontic treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Congenital absence of permanent teeth has direct clinical implications. Early detection of the number of missing teeth and evaluation of the tooth size and arch width is of immense value in the planning and managing treatment with a multidisciplinary team approach to achieve an aesthetic and functional dentition and reduce the complications of hypodontia.
目的:牙齿缺失是人类牙列发育中最常见的畸形之一,可能与牙列的发育包括牙齿大小有更广泛的关联。本研究旨在比较缺牙症患者和无缺牙症患者(对照组)的近远中冠尺寸和牙弓宽度。
材料和方法:从全景片评估缺牙症,不包括第三磨牙,测量了 55 名缺牙症患者和 55 名具有完全恒牙列的患者(对照组)的牙模。用 Mitutoyo UK 有限公司的数字 Mitutoyo 卡尺(Mitutoyo UK 有限公司,英国)测量研究模型上所有萌出的牙齿,记录近远中冠尺寸。
结果:缺牙症患者的近远中牙尺寸小于对照组,且在两性中所有牙齿均具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。上颌侧切牙、下颌中切牙和下颌第二磨牙的牙齿尺寸差异最大。此外,与对照组相比,缺牙症组的牙弓间和牙弓间宽度均显著减小(p<0.05)。
结论:研究结果表明,缺牙症患者的近远中冠尺寸和牙弓宽度减小。在计划正畸治疗时应考虑到这一点。
临床意义:恒牙先天性缺失具有直接的临床意义。早期检测缺失牙齿的数量,评估牙齿大小和牙弓宽度,对于多学科团队方法的规划和管理治疗具有重要价值,以实现美观和功能的牙列,并减少缺牙症的并发症。
