Tooth shape asymmetry in post-canine dentition: Evidence-based morphometric insights
Background
This study investigates the potential existence of asymmetry in the shape of tooth and location of landmarks of tooth anatomy and its variation between sexes.
Methods
Our study evaluated dental symmetry in 160 patients aged 13–20 years, focusing on post-canine dentition. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the research evaluated the variations in the anatomical landmarks between left and right side.
Results
Analysis of the landmarks revealed that 20–30 % of the principal components explained 80 % of the shape variation. No significant difference in centroid size was found between sexes, but significant shape differences were noted in all teeth except the 3-cusp type mandibular second premolar. Asymmetry was more in the premolar segment in the maxillary arch and in the two-cusp type of mandibular second premolar and the mandibular first molar in the mandibular arch.
Conclusion
The research underscores the evolutionary advantage of bilateral symmetry and the presence of fluctuating asymmetry, possibly linked to genetic or environmental stressors. It emphasizes the importance of understanding dental asymmetry for effective treatment planning and diagnosis, in restorative dentistry and orthodontics.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
