Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine variations in cortical bone heights and thickness of the hard palate for placing orthodontic mini screws. Additionally it was evaluated whether there are any significant variations between males and females, adolescents and adults, right and left sides of the hard palate in the study population.

Materials and methods

CBCT images of 50 patients were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into sub-groups: 25 males and females, 24 adolescents (age range 10–19 years) and 26 adults (age range 20–27 years). Hard palate heights and thicknesses were analysed from the incisive fossa to the inter-embrasure region between the 1st and 2nd molars were analysed.

Results

The data revealed that the overall greatest thickness was at the canine-1st premolar embrasure region and the greatest height at the inter-premolar embrasure region. Males showed greater cortical thickness in almost all areas of the palate with significantly greater values in the inter-premolar region. Adolescents showed greater palatal heights than adults in almost all areas with significantly greater values in the inter-molar embrasures. The mid palatal regions showed significantly greater palatal heights in all subgroups.

Conclusion

Orthodontic Mini screws can be optimally placed in the anterior regions of the hard palate for all the groups studied. Males and adolescents showed greater cortical heights as compared to the female and adult population studied.

使用计算机断层扫描绘制腭骨厚度用于放置微型螺钉-性别，青少年和成人之间的比较研究

目的本研究的目的是确定硬腭皮质骨高度和厚度的变化，以放置正畸微型螺钉。此外，还评估了研究人群中男性和女性、青少年和成年人、右侧和左侧硬腭之间是否存在显著差异。材料与方法回顾性分析50例患者的scbct图像。患者分为亚组:男女各25例，青少年24例(年龄10-19岁)，成人26例(年龄20-27岁)。分析了从第一、第二磨牙的锐窝到牙囊间区的硬腭高度和厚度。结果犬第1前磨牙囊区厚度最大，前磨牙间囊区高度最大。男性在上颚几乎所有区域都表现出更大的皮质厚度，在前磨牙间区域表现出更大的皮质厚度。青少年的腭高几乎在所有区域都高于成年人，其中磨牙间囊的值显著高于成年人。各亚组中腭区腭高均显著增高。结论所有正畸组均可在硬腭前区放置迷你螺钉。男性和青少年的大脑皮层高度高于女性和成年人。
