Assessment of effect of Bony Changes following molar mesialization- An Original Research
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background:The speed and extent ofalveolar ridge resorption depend on the time elapsedsince tooth extraction as well as individual features. The present study was conducted to assess bony changes following molar mesialization. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 72 patients age ranged 16-26 years of both genders. In all subjects upper and lower teeth were aligneduntil completion using a 0.018 × 0.025‑inch stainless steel archwire. Corticotomy process was performed bythe same maxillofacial surgeon at 2 weeks before thesecond molar was moved. Bone changes were assessed before corticotomy and 6 months after procedure. Results: Out of 72 patients, males were 40 and females were 32. The marginal bone level on buccal side before procedure was 4 mm which decreased to 3.8 mm after treatment. On lingual side, it was 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm before and after procedure. Bone height showed significant increase from 2.1 mm to 2.7 mm (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Author found increase in lingual marginal bone and height of bone after performing procedure.
