Relation between malocclusion type and vertical alveolar resorption
Abstract：AIM:To investigate the relationship between different kinds of malocclusion and vertical alveo-lar resorption.METHODS:450 adult patients underwent orthodontic treatments were included.The malocclusion of the patients was examined and classified by orthopantomography and plaster cast,alveolar vertical resorption was meas-ured and compared among malocclusion types .RESULTS:No significant difference between the alveolar vertical re-sorption and different types of malocclusion was observed according to either Angle's diagnose system or sagittal skeletal diagnose system(P>0.05).According to the vertical skeletal diagnose system (FH-MP),vertical resorption in the patiens with average angle,low angle and the high angle were 22.2%,41.2%and 32.9%respectively.average angle vs low angle or high angle (P<0.05),low angle vs high angle (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Different molar posi-tion and sagittal position of maxillary and mandible may not affect the vertical alveolar resorption rate.But the vertical position of maxillary and mandible may affect the vertical alveolar resorption.
