Safe regions of miniscrew implantation for distalization of mandibular dentition with CBCT

Abstract: BackgroundTo assess the anatomy of the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to identify the region of miniscrew implantation for the distalization of mandibular dentition.Materials and methodsThe MBS was assessed in 80 patients at four regions as follows: (i) between the buccal root of the mandibular second premolar and the mesiobuccal root of the first molar (L5b–L6mb), (ii) between the mesiodistal root of the first molar (L6mb–L6db), (iii) between the distobuccal root o… Show more

“…These latter sites showed average values between 1.8 and 4.9 mm, that is below the minimum cut‐off value proposed by Nucera et al, 9 thus representing unreliable areas for an insertion site. Additionally, a gradual increase in mandibular buccal shelf thickness was observed in the posterior and basal directions, in agreement with other studies 9,18,28 …”

“…Additionally, a gradual increase in mandibular buccal shelf thickness was observed in the posterior and basal directions, in agreement with other studies. 9,18,28 The buccal shelf showed greater height in the region mesial to the second molar and lower height in the distal region, in contrast to the studies of Nucera et al 9 and Elshebiny et al, 18 who found greater values in more posterior regions. Since the length of commercially available extra-alveolar mini-screws is 10-12 mm, the height of the mandibular buccal shelf was sufficient for the insertion of any extra-alveolar miniscrew in any region and vertical level evaluated in this study.…”

“…This study concluded that when facing limited inter-radicular distance, multiple impacted teeth and extended maxillary sinus, CBCT guided techniques is strongly suggested (17). Liu et al, investigated the anatomy of the mandibular buccal shelf with CBCT to assess appropriate region of miniscrew insertion for distalization of mandibular dentition (22,23) the results suggested buccal alveolar bone thickness increase from premolar to the molar and from crest to the mandibular roots. The buccal inter-radicular spaces were smallest between mesiodistal roots of the second molar.…”

“…The growth pattern of an individual was not considered in this study. 13 The present study accounts for the facial divergence, and the site for buccal shelf implant placement between distobuccal of the first molar and mesiobuccal of the second molar is suitable when the screw is placed at an obtuse degree angulation. A significant finding of our study is that the amount of cortical bone available is more when the buccal screw is inserted at 30° to the occlusal plane which is in accordance with the study of Chang et al We found high statistically significant differences in the angulation of bone placement distal to the second molar for both the hyperdivergent and hypodivergent groups.…”
