Abstract
Statement of problem
Consideration of the thickness of alveolar bone on both the palatal and labial sides and the inclination angle of teeth is important for immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region. However, comprehensive research exploring how sex and age influence the thickness of bone and tooth angle in the maxillary anterior region is lacking.
Purpose
The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate the effect of sex and age on the thickness of labial and palatal bone and on the tooth inclination angle of maxillary central and lateral incisors using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images in an Asian population.
Material and methods
The labial and palatal bone thickness and the inclination angle of maxillary central and lateral incisors were measured from the CBCT images of 149 participants aged between 20 and 65 years. The correlation between the angles of the maxillary central and lateral incisors and sex and age on the tooth angles and thicknesses of labial and palatal bone was determined statistically.
Results
A high correlation (R=0.73) was found between the angle of maxillary central and lateral incisors. Men had higher angles of the maxillary central and lateral incisors and thicker palatal bone at the middle and root of the teeth compared with women. In both sexes, the angle and palatal bone thickness of maxillary central incisors were significantly higher than those of maxillary lateral incisors. The angle of both maxillary central and lateral incisors decreased gradually with age, with a difference in angle of over 10 degrees.
Conclusions
The study revealed that women exhibited relatively thinner palatal bone compared with men. Additionally, participants aged between 40 and 65 years exhibited significantly thicker palatal bone compared with younger age groups, potentially providing a larger site for implant placement. Furthermore, tooth angle gradually decreases with age in the maxillary anterior region.
