To test the hypothesis that maxillary development may be affected by occlusal support.
The sample was composed by Wistar rats (5 weeks old) divided into three groups: Control (n = 10), extraction of mandibular molar teeth - left side (n = 10), extraction mandibular molar teeth - left and right sides (n = 10). The rats were sacrificed 8 weeks postextraction. Cone beam computed tomography scan images were taken for posterior measurement of maxillary length and width. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (Tukey test as post-hoc test).
Maxillary length was significantly shorter (P < 0.005) in both groups after tooth extraction. No difference was observed regarding maxillary width and body weight.
Reduced occlusal support may impair the development of the maxilla in rats.
验证上颌骨发育可能受咬合支持影响这一假说。
样本由5周龄的Wistar大鼠组成,分为三组:对照组(n = 10)、拔除左侧下颌磨牙组(n = 10)、拔除左右两侧下颌磨牙组(n = 10)。拔牙后8周处死大鼠。采用锥形束计算机断层扫描获取图像,用于上颌骨长度和宽度的后部测量。数据采用单因素方差分析(Tukey检验作为事后检验)进行分析。
拔牙后两组的上颌骨长度均显著缩短(P < 0.005)。在上颌骨宽度和体重方面未观察到差异。
咬合支持减少可能会损害大鼠上颌骨的发育。
