The various methods proposed for its evaluation, e.g. Intraoral Periapical (IOPA) X-ray and Orthopantomogram (OPG) x-rays use linear measurements which have errors due to magnification and angulations of x-rays. Root-crown ratio as measured on digital OPGs, which are essential diagnostic records for all orthodontic patients were used for the first time to assess root resorption. Methods: A two-step method was used, first to check the v alidation of OPG measurement with IOPA x rays. The first step involved the measurement of Root-crown ratio on digital OPG and IOPA by 5 independent examiners on IC measure software. The second step involved the measurement of root resorption as Root-crown ratio on pretreatment and post-treatment OPG X rays of 32 treated orthodontic patients all of which were treated by a single orthodontist. Digital OPG images of all patients were traced in Picassa software. In both steps, root-crown ratio was assessed by modified Lind method. Results: The results of first step did not show any significant differences in examiners to read the IOPA and OPG x rays. The results of the second step showed 11.8% root resorption in maxillary central incisors and 4% root resorption in lateral incisors. Similarly, maxillary and mandibular molars showed 1.6% and 5.1% resorption, respectively. The resorption in mandibular molars was significantly more compared to pretreatment value. There was apparently no effect of extraction treatment or treatment time on the amount of resorption. Conclusion: The study concluded that root-crown ratio can be used as an effective and efficient alternative method to quantify root resorption on OPG X rays and possibly alleviate the need for taking IOPA x rays in orthodontic patients thereby reducing the radiation exposure.","PeriodicalId":43169,"journal":{"name":"Orthodontic Waves","volume":"79 1","pages":"23 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13440241.2020.1712823","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47847226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the correlation of the palatal volume with the nasopharyngeal volume on computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with different facial morphological patterns. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 93 CT scans of patients. The patients were divided into three groups based on the ANB angle, namely class I (2°≤ANB≤4°), class II (ANB>4°) and class III (ANB<2°). According to the lower anterior facial height/anterior facial height ratio, the patients were divided into three groups of high angle (hyperdivergent, >0.55), low angle (hypodivergent, <0.55) and normal (0.55). The CT scans of patients were analysed to measure the nasopharyngeal volume, palatal volume, palatal height, maxillary width, intercanine width and intermolar width. Data were analysed using the Pearson’s correlation test, ANOVA, independent t-test and Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: No significant correlation existed between the palatal volume and the nasopharyngeal volume (P = 0.806). The maxillary width (P = 0.971), palatal height (P = 0.945), intercanine width (P = 0.320) and intermolar width (P = 0.478) had no significant correlation with the nasopharyngeal volume either. The nasopharyngeal volume was not significantly different in the three classes of malocclusion (P = 0.987) and different facial height patterns (P = 0.331). Conclusion: The palatal volume had no significant correlation with the nasopharyngeal volume. The nasopharyngeal volume was not significantly different in patients with different patterns of facial morphology.","PeriodicalId":43169,"journal":{"name":"Orthodontic Waves","volume":"79 1","pages":"31 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13440241.2020.1712822","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44981562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
