INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the 3-dimensional tooth crown symmetry and the crown volumes of maxillary and mandibular teeth in patients with unilateral or bilateral missing or peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors. METHODS: Six groups were established for the possible clinical variations in patients with unilateral missing or peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, bilateral presence of these tooth anomalies, and a control group (CG) with normal lateral incisors. The study was conducted on digital dental models of 132 patients. The morphologic symmetry of the antimere teeth was investigated using 3-dimensional deviation analysis. Volumes of contralateral teeth were compared within and among groups for the maxilla and mandible. Furthermore, volumes of teeth were compared in missing and peg-shaped quadrants and quadrants of CG. Intergroup differences were tested using one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests, whereas paired t and Wilcoxon tests were used for parametric and nonparametric variables, respectively, for intragroup comparisons. RESULTS: Significant deviations in symmetry of antimere teeth were not detected (P >0.05). The volumes of mandibular central and lateral incisors in missing or peg-shaped lateral incisor groups were smaller than in the CG (P <0.05). Per quadrant analysis, volumes of the maxillary central incisor and mandibular central incisors, canines, and first molars in quadrants with missing or peg-shaped lateral incisors were smaller than in the control quadrants (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Neither unilateral nor bilateral presence of missing or peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors affected the morphologic symmetry of antimere teeth but did affect tooth volume, especially in the mandibular arch.
引言:本研究旨在评估单侧或双侧上颌侧切牙缺失或畸形的患者的上颌和下颌牙齿的三维牙冠对称性和牙冠体积。
方法:为单侧缺失或上颌侧切牙畸形、双侧存在这些牙齿异常的患者以及具有正常侧切牙的对照组(CG)建立了 6 个组。对 132 名患者的数字牙科模型进行了研究。使用三维偏差分析研究了对侧牙齿的形态对称性。比较了上颌和下颌各组内和组间的同名牙体积。此外,还比较了缺失和畸形象限以及 CG 象限中牙齿的体积。使用单向方差分析和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验测试组间差异,而对于组内比较,使用配对 t 检验和 Wilcoxon 检验分别用于参数和非参数变量。
结果:未检测到对侧牙齿对称性的显著偏差(P>0.05)。缺失或畸形侧切牙组的下颌中切牙和侧切牙体积小于 CG(P<0.05)。按象限分析,缺失或畸形侧切牙象限的上颌中切牙和下颌中切牙、尖牙和第一磨牙的体积小于对照组象限(P<0.05)。
结论:单侧或双侧上颌侧切牙缺失或畸形既不影响对侧牙齿的形态对称性,也不影响牙齿体积,但会影响牙齿体积,尤其是在下颌弓。
