  • Morphological diversity of permanent maxillary lateral incisors and their impact on aesthetics and function in orthodontically treated patients [Elektronski vir]
    Fekonja, Anita
    The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of different crown shapes and associated dental anomalies of the permanent maxillary lateral incisor (PMLI) and their impact on aesthetics and ... occlusion (function) in orthodontically treated patients. Materials and Methods: The records of 372 subjects, which consisting of study casts, panoramic radiographs and anamnestic data, were investigated for crown shape and associated dental anomalies of PMLI and potential dental treatment to achieve satisfactory aesthetics and function. Descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations and percentages for the observed variables, were calculated. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. p-Values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results: The results showed that the most common crown shapes of PMLI were trapezoidal-shaped (59.8%), followed by central incisor-shaped (26.7%), canine-shaped (11.2%) and peg-shaped (2.3%), without statistically significant difference between genders. Developmental anomalies were found in 86 (11.6%) PMLI. All subjects with developmental anomalies were included in orthodontic treatment, and 91.2% of them need interdisciplinary treatment to achieve satisfactory aesthetics and function. Conclusions: The morphological diversity and developmental anomalies of the PMLI may affect aesthetics and function and should be considered in treatment planning.
