Cone-beam CT evaluation of orthodontic treatment outcomes for multiple impacted maxillary anterior teeth.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the orthodontic outcomes of multiple impacted maxillary anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and analyze the root and alveolar bone attachment following orthodontic traction.

Methods

Sixteen patients with multiple impacted maxillary anterior teeth treated at the Department of Orthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between 2016 and 2020 were included. A total of 14 Impacted maxillary central incisors(IMCIs), 13 Impacted maxillary lateral incisors(IMLIs), and 16 Impacted maxillary canines(IMCs) were assessed. CBCT scans and three-dimensional reconstructions were performed immediately after treatment completion. Measurements included root length(RL), intraosseous root ratio, alveolar bone loss of
