Abstract:
Root position plays an important role in healthy, stable, and aesthetic orthodontic treatment. In the past, two-dimensional radiographic images were used to assess the accuracy and precision of tooth root positions. In recent years, the use of cone beam CT (CBCT) and its reconstructed images to measure the three-dimensional spatial position and angle of root position has become mainstream. The root position is mainly described by measuring the relationship between the root and adjacent structures in the buccolingual, vertical, and mesiodistal directions as well as the root angle. The thickness of the alveolar bone on the buccolingual side of the root represents the buccolingual position, the vertical height in the alveolar bone and the relationship between apex and maxillary sinus represents the vertical position, the interroot alveolar bone thickness represents the mesiodistal position of the root, and the root angle is mostly based on incisal mandibular plane angle, angulation, torque, and other angles in the traditional two-dimensional measurement. Fitting CBCT and digital model data can be used to monitor the relationship between root and alveolar bone during orthodontic treatment, but a more comprehensive, standardized three-dimensional tooth root position measurement method is required to make full use of the root data provided by CBCT to study the relative optimal position of the tooth root at different anatomical levels, which combines with computer technology to optimize the digital design of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.
